greenwood rye - southern pines lyrics
[chorus]
mama won’t your carry me
oh won’t you bury me
down in the red dirt
when i die
when i die
at the foot of the blue ridge
where the white dove lives
and they can all say
i came home one last time
to sing with the angels beneath southern pines
[verse 1]
the view of the pasture is an old, faded picture
pickin’ on banjos and plucking dandelions
we blew out the seeds, watched them float on the breezе
i can hardly remember you waving goodbyе
and they blew out the mountains
to build a new highway
that led to a factory, in the new part of town
and who would i be, if i decided to stay there
and live out my days on some foreign ground
[chorus]
mama won’t your carry me
oh won’t you bury me
down in the red dirt
when i die
when i die
at the foot of the blue ridge
where the white dove lives
and they can all say
i came home one last time
to sing with the angels beneath southern pines
[verse 2]
it was pouring down rain in the old iron city
and on through to jackson, i was drench to the bone
when i made it to ‘frisco, had n0body left with me
the real journey starts with your first night alone
[chorus]
mama won’t your carry me
oh won’t you bury me
down in the red dirt
when i die
when i die
at the foot of the blue ridge
where the white dove lives
and they can all say
i came home one last time
to sing with the angels beneath southern pines
[verse 4]
back in the pasture, there’s a hundred new houses
they’re filled up with strangers, who got there last year
they’ve got good intentions, to better their families
but it’s their city now, and i’m stuck out here
[chorus]
mama won’t your carry me
oh won’t you bury me
down in the red dirt
when i die
when i die
at the foot of the blue ridge
where the white dove lives
and they can all say
i came home one last time
to sing with the angels beneath southern pines
