Tall Trees In Georgia

Tall trees in Georgia They grow so high, they shade me so I'm 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 My parents took me where ever I traveled out I traveled west and north and east and south When I grew older and married I would be I found my sweetheart, he would not marry me When I was younger the boys a-courtin' came around But now I'm older and they're all settled down Young girls take warning and don't complain And 'don't make moan For if you're fickle you'll soon be left alone Control your mind, my girl, and give your heart to one For if you love all men you'll sure be left with none And if perfection were to be found in mortal men We'd soon grow tired and go off alone again Tall trees in Georgia They grow so high, they shade me so I'm sadly walking through the thicket I go --- Tall Trees in Georgia - Buffy Sainte-Marie
