Lyrics Far Away, Down On A Georgia Farm - Norman Blake

Far Away, Down On A Georgia Farm

Oh I will never forget that day
In the woodland glade in May
How your sweet smile did my heart beguile
And stole my poor soul away
Sunlight shone on your brown, chestnut hair
And a face as fair as the morn
Returned my gaze with such winning ways
My sad spirit was reborn
We said that we would run away
Where no one could ever do us harm
In the shadow of the mountain’s cool green shade
Or away down on a Georgia farm
20 years roll by
We travel on the road
From the farm so far we did stray
To the cities and the towns
We rambled around
Just a-playing and a-singing for pay
And the ways of the world we did take in our hearts
Ever dreaming from long day to day
That all in all would be our downfall
And lead to sin and decay
