Northern Girl
Why are the rain clouds comin'
And pourin down on me?
And why can't the north wind turn
And blow the other way?
And where has the sunshine gone?
For I can barely see
This northern rain is falling
And home is calling me
And the sun in the southern sky
Is all I need to see
Just watching a small bird fly
Above the fields and me
Walking a dusty road
When there's nothin' around the bend
Except those golden tolls
Of goin' home again
Going home
Going home
A muddy old river flowed
Beneath the fallen tree
And a sunflower garden growed
Twice as tall as me
My sister and father hear me
What I learned today
I ain't northern girl
I've been too long away
Going home
Going home
And on a starry old summer evening
Home ain't warm and sweet
I hit the road believing I was bound to leave
And it took a New England sky
To teach me how to say
I ain't no northern girl
I've been too long away
This ain't no northern song
And I've been too long away
This ain't no northern song
And I've been too long away
And pourin down on me?
And why can't the north wind turn
And blow the other way?
And where has the sunshine gone?
For I can barely see
This northern rain is falling
And home is calling me
And the sun in the southern sky
Is all I need to see
Just watching a small bird fly
Above the fields and me
Walking a dusty road
When there's nothin' around the bend
Except those golden tolls
Of goin' home again
Going home
Going home
A muddy old river flowed
Beneath the fallen tree
And a sunflower garden growed
Twice as tall as me
My sister and father hear me
What I learned today
I ain't northern girl
I've been too long away
Going home
Going home
And on a starry old summer evening
Home ain't warm and sweet
I hit the road believing I was bound to leave
And it took a New England sky
To teach me how to say
I ain't no northern girl
I've been too long away
This ain't no northern song
And I've been too long away
This ain't no northern song
And I've been too long away
