Buy Juanita Some Flowers - Billy Walker

My outfit was stationed near a small border town

I met her one day in a small cabaret

I discovered just off the camp ground

Her name was Juanita and I loved her so

And I took from my hand that gold wedding band

That I wore back home

Each weekend I’d buy Juanita some flowers

And wrap them up in lies

I’d buy Juanita some flowers

So she couldn’t see the shame in my eyes

I just couldn’t tell her that our love couldn’t be

So I lied to amuse her cause I knew I’d lose her

If she learned the truth about me

For the sake of this woman I’ve forsaken my soul

But her kiss was to blame it set off a flame

I couldn’t control

Each weekend I’d buy Juanita some flowers…

And then someone told her that I had a wife

I tried to explain but her gun spit a flame

And as I fell she took her own life

And now it’s all over I won’t last I know

Do one thing for me in her memory

Before I go

Won’t someone please buy Juanita some flowers

For all the trust she gave

Please buy Juanita some flowers

And place them for me upon her grave
