	Story Behind the Song This is a story of one woman's plight in an arranged marriage that ends in her murder. Lyrics Hello My name is Louisa Liesel, a woman of pride you will see There's tragedy in my story I'll tell, but please don't feel sorry for me At sixteen years old I was wed to a man His name and his wealth I would share A child for every late summer he planned, for I would give birth to his heir But I said, "Dream, my girl Dream, my girl Someday this burden will cease Dream, my girl, dream! I know in my years I'll find peace." Five seasons had passed, not a son to his name His anger grew more bitter toward me I prayed every night hoping he'd change but what other choice could I see? Soon nothing would Keep him from raising his hand The devil's rum possessed him I feared Cleaning his gun after supper each night, a threat that was perfectly clear (chorus) Twelve seasons had passed nay a word I would cast 'til something inside of me roared. I stood from my knees just as proud as I pleased, for he would not beat me no more! But I'm sorry to say my life changed from that day, for living is never too sound My husband and I will never see eye to eye now that I rest in the ground. (chorus)
