|
Tall trees in Georgia, |
|
They grow so high |
|
They shade me so |
|
And sadly walking |
|
Through the thicket I go |
|
The sweetest love I ever had |
|
I left aside |
|
Because I did not want |
|
To be any man's bride |
|
But now I'm older |
|
And married I would be |
|
I found my sweetheart |
|
But he would not marry me |
|
When I was younger |
|
The boys all came around |
|
But now I'm older |
|
And they've all settled down |
|
Control your mind my girl |
|
And give your heart to one |
|
For if you love all men |
|
You'll be surely left with none |
|
Tall trees in Georgia, |
|
They grow so high |
|
They shade me so |
|
And sadly walking |
|
Through the thicket I go |
