COUNTRY GIRL
|
(Robert Farnon)
|
|
Country girl
|
Country girl
|
I beheld her in meadowland
|
Longing and reaping
|
And singing a refrain
|
Oh, what a melancholy strain
|
The valley echoed with the ring
|
No nightingale could ever sing
|
So plaintively as the country girl
|
|
I was spellbound and curious
|
Why such a sad song
|
Perhaps love passed her by
|
No hope for rainbows in the sky
|
Maybe she held a memory
|
Of happiness of yesteryear
|
In solitude cried the country girl
|
|
Came the hour to travel on
|
Sadness befell me
|
A sorrow filled my heart
|
A longing never to depart
|
Through music in my soul I bore
|
Long after it was heard no more
|
|
And memories of the country girl
|
Whose love I'll never know
|
|
