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 a side
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 an' 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
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 a side
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 an' 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
