If I ever leave this old world,
If I ever leave this old world,
If I ever leave this old world, by and by,
You know that's gonna be the day that I die.
Well I met this girl, she was five-foot-two.
Her name was Madelyn, and she could really sing the blues.
"Come on," she said, "Let's be lovers.
We don't got to belong to one another."
If I ever lay down this guitar,
If I ever lay down this guitar,
If I ever lay down this guitar, by and by,
You know that's gonna be the day that I die.
If I ever leave this old world,
If I ever leave this old world,
If I ever leave this old world, by and by,
You know that's gonna be the day that I die.
If you ever stop loving me,
If you ever stop loving me,
If you ever stop your kissing and your hugging,
Girl, that's gonna be the day that I cry like hell.
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
