Notes:

According to www.forthazel.com, who released this song

as part of a 1998 compilation,

 . . . " 'Poor Southern Girl' was recorded (somewhat poorly) late at night by Ryan and a fellow named Thompson King. It was in 1994 when fellow Fort Hazelian, Tristan Andreas and Ryan were roommates.  Liner notes for the compilation state that the song was 'written and performed by Ryan Adams recorded 4/94 by a very drunk Thompson King at Exile on Franklin Street, Raleigh, NC' "

 

Lyrics:

Poor southern girl
Lost your daddy
Now it rides upon your collar
Like a noose around your neck
You got eyes
That only see tomorrow
Just as clear as river water
Just as hollow as a shell
You got years to burn
You got time to kill
If I don't break your heart than someone else will
Poor southern girl
Lost your daddy
Now it rides upon your collar
Like a noose around your neck
Poor southern girl
That only see tomorrow
Just as clear as river water
Just as hollow as a shell
You got years to burn
You got time to kill
If I don't break your heart than someone else will
Poor southern girl
Lost your daddy
Now it rides upon your collar
Like a noose around your neck
. . . rides upon your neck
