Текст песни Ella Mae - Greg Brown
My
grandparents
on
my
father's
side
had
a
strawberry
farm.
It's
a
Beautiful
thing,
a
beautiful
occupation...
a
strawberry
farm.
We
Always
used
to
try
to
go
down
there
at
just
the
right
time
of
year.
"Oh,
are
the,
are
the
berries
ready?
Oh.
Good!"
Ella
Mae
- the
redwings
returned
today
A
little
rain
fell
in
the
morning
The
afternoon
was
clear
An'
that
song
you
loved
to
hear
Was
filling
up
the
fence
row
where
the
birds
all
go
To
talk
over
their
long
journey
and
sing.
Ella
Mae
- all
the
gifts
you
gave
Tremble
in
my
life
like
a
startled
deer
You
gave
me
my
Pa
Who
is
in
me
as
you
are
And
the
southern
piney
hills
The
clear
water
and
the
running
rills
That
tumbled
through
the
lives
of
us
all.
Six
big
men
and
one
big
strong
woman
You
and
little
Granpa
David
raised
up
there
They
all
had
families
We
all
come
back
to
see
you
You
hugged
us
all
in
turn
Cocked
you
head
and
said
we'd
grown
And
touched
us
with
your
hands
That
smelled
like
bread
Ella
Mae
- it's
a
clear
warm
summer's
day
The
young
birds
are
trying
out
their
wings
Ah
it's
something
to
see
them
try
To
get
up
there
and
fly
And
my
own
child
is
bound
to
do
the
same
Today
she
learned
three
birds'
names.
Ella
Mae
- I
can
see
you
plain
as
day
Sailing
out
like
a
ship
to
your
garden
In
your
old
wide-brim
straw
hat
With
a
long
handled
hoe
in
your
hand.
Pausing
at
the
gate
I
see
you
look
south
to
the
pond
A
long
time
quiet
smile
on
your
face.
Ella
Mae
- when
your
David
went
away
After
cutting
brush
all
day
long
Well,
your
life
just
slowly
closed
Like
a
worn
out
autumn
rose
You
could
not
find
the
bread
You
could
not
make
your
lonesome
bed
Or
really
do
a
thing
but
rise
and
go.
Ella
Mae
- the
redwings
left
today
Passing
in
a
long
cloud
of
wings
They're
headed
down
your
way
They'll
be
there
in
a
couple
of
days
They'll
sing
that
song
you
loved
As
they
fly
above
Your
resting
place
by
David
in
the
pines.
