stonewall jackson - nashville lyrics

in the year of forty three mama finished feedin’ me
and quickly rushed off to her job at woorden’s backmill
but at fourth on monroe’s street a faillin’ hearts stopped at willin’ feet
and mama gave up the breath of life in the town of nashville
daddy was in the county jail so my older sister nell
took a job at a tavern that some folks called the trashmill
and when the welfare agency offered help and smiled at me
no thanks but we’ll get by in this town of nashville
as a kid i went to school hurt stood high on a tavern stool
a listenin’ to the songs on the jukebox at the trashmill
and that hurtin’ in them sad old songs settled deep in a poor boy’s bones
and i vowed i’ll someday pick and sing in nashville
so my older sister nell like a true blue southern bell
bought me a second handed guitar from the nashville goodwill
heaven would smile and bells would ring when i touched those shiny strings
and i was the richest poor boy in the town of nashville
[ piano ]
there’s a chill down in my bones yes it’s my time to go on
and i’m sure the good lord knows the way i feel
so they’re callin’ me a star i can’t forget about that first guitar
and a lady who helped me to make it big in this town of nashville
