Artist/Band: Mel Tillis
Lyrics for Song: Leona
Lyrics for Album: Sawmill [1973]



(Ken McDuffie)



Leona was a woman that lived in our town

Pretty as a picture with big ol' eyes of brown

She danced and she partied almost every night

Leona only lived with things that wasn't right.



Leona, Leona

Your ways are so strange

Leona, Leona

Your will you ever change.



One night she was dancin' she met an older man

She thought that he had money and he became Leona's plan

And as she cast her evil spell upon her older prey

She had that old man dreaming he was in his younger days.



She took him in her pretty home and turned the lights down low

As the old man's heart beat faster his eyes began to glow

She kissed him she loved him she gave off her charms

But the old man he died that night in Leona's arms.



Leona, Leona

Your ways are so strange

Leona, Leona

Your will you ever change.



There were many at the funeral they seen Leona cried

When the preacher told the people how the old man had died

But after it was over and they had him in the ground

Leona had that preacher man and headin' back to town.



Leona, Leona

Your ways are so strange

Leona, Leona

Your will you ever change.



Leona, Leona

Your ways are so strange

Leona, Leona

Your will you ever change...
