It's been rough and rocky travelin'. But I'm finally standing upright on the ground. After takin' several readings I'm surprised. To find my mind's still fairly sound.
(chorus) Mornin glory, fuschia in green. You sweet little Jezebel in my garden of dreams. Petals clenched tightly in the late morning sun. My day is just starting, your day is done.
Honey, the snow outside is softly fallin'. The kids are all tucked in and fast asleep. We got a cozy den with a big old fireplace burnin'. Don't you think it's time we think about you and me?.
Silent Night has never sounded any sweeter. And Jingle Bells ring softly in the night. And it's the season for me to be happy. 'Cause this Christmas, you're here to hold me tight.
Well I made my way from Nasheville, the loving of the Georgia pines. Worked my way to Alabam, didn't even make a dime. Well I wish I was right there with you, my brand new shirt and shoes.
Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you. It's late September and I really should be back at school. I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used.
My cleaning lady is amish. if you don't know what that means it basically means that she dresses weird. yeah. every other tuesday. the amish lady comes.
I aint never been the settlin kind. Then I met you and changed my mind. I've always been the goin kind. gone always gone all the time. . now Im missing all my rowdy friends.
Now come and listen to my story. A story that I know is true. A little rose that bloomed in Georgia. With hair of gold and a heart so true. . Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
[Chorus]. Memories of you, sweetheart, still haunt me so. Everytime I hear your name I almost cry. But, there's just one thing that I want you to know.
Mother left this world of sorrow. Our home was silent and so sad. Dad took sick and had to leave us. I have no home No mother nor dad. . There's a little lonesome grave yard.
