Lyrics: Country Girl

 

Country Girl

Country girl, country girl
I beheld her in meadowland
Mowing and reaping and singing a refrain
Oh watermelon collies train
My valley echoed with a ring
No nightingale could ever sing
So plaintively of a 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 her memory dear
The 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
The music in my soul I bore
Long after it was heаrd no more
And memorieѕ of the country girl

True love I've never known
