norman blake - far away, down on a georgia farm lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh i will never forget that day
in the woodland glade in may
how your sweet smile did my heart beguile
and stole my poor soul away

[verse 2]
sunlight shone on your brown, chestnut hair
and a face as fair as the morn
returned my gaze with such winning ways
my sad spirit was reborn

[verse 3]
we said that we would run away
where no one could ever do us harm
in the shadow of the mountain’s cool green shade
or away down on a georgia farm

[verse 4]
20 years roll by, we travelled on the road
from the farm so far we did stray
to the cities and the towns, we rambled around
just a+playing and a+singing for pay

[verse 5]
and the ways of the world we did take in our hearts
ever dreaming from long day to day
that all in all would be our downfall
and lead to sin and decay
[verse 6]
discontent, discord, and disharmony
our lives did change along the way
oh, had i known then what i know now
from that farm we would never have strayed

[verse 7]
though you have gone so far away
your bright smile haunts me still
in the darkness of night by the candlelight
in the old farmhouse on the hill

[verse 8]
i think sometimes i see you coming back
from some far, far away distant land
but ne’er a brown curl nor the dear little girl
come inside of my gaze again

[verse 9]
so i’ll watch and pray and wait for you
through life’s long and dreary storms
’til coming up the lane i’ll see you again
far away, down on a georgia farm

[verse 10]
yes, i’ll watch and pray and wait for you
through life’s long and dreary storms
’til coming up the lane i’ll see you again
far away, down on a georgia farm
