Leave Me Be Kate & Anna McGarrigle

[Verse 1]
Her dress it was of snowy white
A rose tied to her wrist
The words her daddy preached to her
Were softened with a kiss
"They'll judge you by your company
They cannot see beyond
Be careful who you choose in life
And stay where you belong"

[Chorus]
Leave me be, I'll make my own friends
Don't tell me who to love, don't tell me who to hate
I will find out on my own
Don't make the road too narrow and straight

[Verse 2]
He was on the road to Galveston
By way of Woodsboro
After four long weeks out on a rig
In the Gulf of Mexico
His eyes were like the shining sea, his hair was like black gold
She knew her daddy'd disapprove
Because he was so bold

[Chorus]
Leave me be, I'll make my own friends
Don't tell me who to love, don't tell me who to hate
I will find out on my own
Don't make the way too narrow and straight
I will find out on my own
Don't make the way too narrow and straight
