Ellen?s Song
Words and Music Copyright 2000 Peter Quentin

She is the fairest damsel which you ever did see
Her eyes are bright as jewels her heart?s big as the sea
And I know that if your eyes could but see
Then I know that you all surely would agree
Oh Ellen?.Ellen!

She was born and raised on the Old Chisholm Trail
At the fork of two rivers where once the wild Wichita Indian wailed
She?s blonde and young with limbs so fine
And grew up to the sound of the Rock Island Line
Oh Ellen?.Ellen!

It is not withdrawn or merely of the skin
And often it speaks out from that fountain deep within
And does not stand easily with diamonds or gold
A beauty that would fade from too heavy a hold
Oh Ellen?.Ellen!

And yet in another way she is pure as the spring
And accepts the unacceptable not just ?cause it?s the done thing
Her soul it shines, her eyes are sapphire blue
She?s a tantalizing sky, she?s a prairie view
Oh Ellen?.Ellen

Well I would not lock her up or keep her in a vault
She?s blind to me when I?m in my faults
I know she?s good, she?s better than that
Well I would not trade her off or anything like that
Oh Ellen?. Ellen!
