Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gravel road at midnight
Mud up to my knees
Lantern barely flickerin'
Wind cutting through the trees
Saw her standin' sideways
Bare feet in the ditch
White dress hangin' crooked
Eyes like a preacher's witch
[Chorus]
Lady in white
Why you follow me home?
Shadow on my shoulder
Breath in every bone
Lady in white
Won't you let me be?
You ain't of this earth
But you lean on me
[Verse 2]
She said
"Boy
I been waitin'"
Voice dry as autumn corn
"Down here by the river bend
Since the night I wasn't born"
Finger like an icicle
Pressed against my chest
"I ain't askin' for your heartbeat
Just a place to rest"
[Chorus]
Lady in white
Why you follow me home?
Shadow on my shoulder
Breath in every bone
Lady in white
Won't you let me be?
You ain't of this earth
But you lean on me
[Bridge]
[Slide guitar moans
Low and crooked]
I tried to cross that county line
She was sittin' on the sign (oh Lord)
Every barroom doorway
She was starin' from the blind
"Don't run
Don't pray
Ain't your soul I'm tryin' to take
I just need your footsteps
So I know which way to fade"
[Chorus]
Lady in white
Why you follow me home?
Shadow on my shoulder
Breath in every bone
Lady in white
You can walk with me
But when that rooster hollers
You gotta set me free (hey, hey)

Raw delta blues trio, live one-take feel: male vocals through a crunchy vintage mic, detuned slide guitar and stomping wood-floor kick. Verses stay hushed and eerie with rattling bottleneck runs; chorus swells into rough, anguished shouts and bent notes. Sparse harmonica wails in the gaps, room reverb and audience chair-creaks left in the mix for a ghostly presence., delta blues, blues
