Country girl, country girl I beheld her in meadowland Bowing and reaping and singing a refrain Oh, what a melancholy strain The valley echoed with a 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 hopeful rainbow in the sky Maybe she held a memory dear A 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 heard no more And memories of a country girl Whose love I’ll never knowTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
