paroles de chanson Where Grass Won't Grow - Trisha Yearwood , Emmylou Harris , George Jones , Dolly Parton

The dirt was clay and was the color of the blood in me
A twelve-acre farm on a ridge in South Tennessee
We left our sweat all over that land behind a mule we watched grow old
Row after row
Trying to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow

There was one old store in the holler we all called town
It belonged to a gentle old man named Henry Brown
He gave us credit in the wintertime so we could live through the cold
When the winds brought snow
Trying to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow

Oh, the one I loved walked through those fields with me
She was a hard-working woman, true as one could be
Oh, but then one year, death was going '
Round and swiftly took its toll
Janie had to go
Now she lies asleep underground so poor that grass won't grow

As I stand here looking over this part of Tennessee
The fields are bare as far as the eye can see
And over the grave where Janie lies
There's a beautiful sight to behold
And no one knows
Why there's flowers growing on ground so poor that grass won't grow

Now there's flowers growing on ground so poor that grass won't grow
