Didn't hear no warning, didn't fear no storm 'cause I knew for sure on that very morn' that girl was gonna be my bride It was the day my baby died In her long white gown and her bridal bouquet how I begged her not to plow the field that day although her beauty never stops, she felt a duty to her crops She jumped on the old John Deere and she drove away, hey hey She said "Baby don't ya worry, this'll only take a minute" but the wheel caught her gown and dragged her down in it Imagine my surprise when I looked her in the eyes Oh, my God I couldn't believe it, the tractor cut her down to size Oh, how the hands of fate they cracked her 'neath the wheels of her daddy's tractor There was blood on the corn and brains on the hay (Hey hey) I ran fast as I could but all I found was chunks of my sweety smeared all around Big hunks of my darlin' on the cold, cold ground, oh, yeah Hey, this really happened to my Loretta
