Franklin Limestone, always been my home |
|
I was born in Nashville, a place I call my own |
|
Where the mountains, and the rivers, and the valleys |
|
We were married, you and me |
|
We were both so happy just being together |
|
Like a possum in the wood |
|
So please forgive me if I forget to tell you |
|
What you mean to me |
|
Hard cold winter took away my mother |
|
Papa got the fever, Lord he said he couldn't leave her |
|
You carried me through bad times, through the worst times |
|
You were my driving wheel |
|
We were both so happy just being together |
|
Like a possum in the wood |
|
So please forgive me if I forget to tell you |
|
What you mean to me |
|
Workin in a coal mine, slaving in the day time |
|
Lookin to the Good Lord for any peace of mind |
|
The feeling if you left me on that hillside |
|
Would break this heart of mine |
|
We were both so happy just being together |
|
Like a possum in the wood |
|
So please forgive me if I forget to tell you |
|
Lord, what you mean to me |
