Emmylou Harris sings harmony on the recording.
The words
A farewell to a mysterious woman and her family before a journey down into the valley.
A man prepares to leave a mysterious woman whose family seems wild and dangerous, and asks for one last drink before he sets off down into the valley. He describes her beauty and her strange household, and admits that she does not truly love him. Each verse returns to the same request, as if he is delaying the parting. The mood is dark and exotic, with Emmylou Harris singing harmony.
