[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] We said that we would run away Where no one could ever do us harm In the shadow of the mountains cool green shade Or away down on a Georgia farm [Verse 4] 20 years roll by, we travelled on the road From the farm so far we did stray To the cities and the towns, we rambled around Just aplaying and asinging for pay [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] Discontent, discord, and disharmony Our lives did change along the way Oh, had I known then what I know now From that farm we would never have strayed [Verse 7] Though you have gone so far away Your bright smile haunts me still In the darkness of night by the candlelight In the old farmhouse on the hill [Verse 8] I think sometimes I see you coming back From some far, far away distant land But neer a brown curl nor the dear little girl Come inside of my gaze again [Verse 9] So Ill watch and pray and wait for you Through lifes long and dreary storms Til coming up the lane Ill see you again Far away, down on a Georgia farm [Verse 10] Yes, Ill watch and pray and wait for you Through lifes long and dreary storms Til coming up the lane Ill see you again Far away, down on a Georgia farm
