Forbidden - Bruce Guthro
Maria walked down in the river bank
Left her clothes hanging in the tree
She stood naked in the cool blue water
She was waiting there for me
I came off the back shift
And I met her on the bank
We laid down in the tall green grass
In the warm september rain
Vincent drives a Mustang
And he wears a lot of gold
He doesn't long for nothing
But somebody to hold
So one day he took Maria
And played the rich mans part
And he won the poor girl with his money
But he could never win her heart
Forbidden love
The sweetest on devine
Forbidden love
Is another mans wine
A wise man he would let her go
A foolish man would drink it slow
A dead man he would never know
Little towns talk
So it wasn't very long
Vincent finally heard just what was going on
Young men don't think with reasons
When his body's filled with rage
So he went and bought himself a gun
And a bullet with my name
I came off the back shift
Like a thousand times before
And I met my sweet Maria
On the river bank once more
She talled me it was over
And that I should leave town
Then a shot went from the darkness
And Maria went down
Maybe it was fate
I didn't die that night
Vincent ran out from the darkness
He held her and he cried
He dropped the gun down at her feet
I picked it up and did the deed
Cleaned my prints off with my sleeve
And walked away
Forbidden love
The sweetest on devine
Forbidden love
Is another mans wine
A wise man he would let her go
A foolish man would drink it slow
And a dead man he would never know
Forbidden love
Forbidden love
Maria walked down in the river bank
Left her clothes hanging in the tree
She stood naked in the cool blue water
