《Where Grass Won’t Grow(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Where Grass Won't Grow - George Jones

[00:00:05] The dirt was clay and was the color of the blood in me

[00:00:14] A twelve acre farm on a ridge in south Tennessee

[00:00:23] We left our sweat all over that land behind a mule we watched grow old

[00:00:33] Row after row

[00:00:38] Tryin' to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow

[00:00:52] There was one old store in the holler we all called town

[00:01:01] It belonged to a gentle old man named Henry Brown

[00:01:10] He gave us credit in the winter time so we could live through the cold

[00:01:19] When the winds brought snow

[00:01:24] Tryin' to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow

[00:01:39] Oh the one I loved walked through those fields with me

[00:01:47] She was a hard workin' woman true as one could be

[00:01:56] Oh but then one year death was goin' round and swiftly took it's toll

[00:02:05] Janie had to go

[00:02:10] Now she lies asleep under ground so poor that grass won't grow

[00:02:24] As I stand here looking over this part of Tennessee

[00:02:32] The fields are bare as far as the eye can see

[00:02:41] And over the grave where Janie lies there's a beautiful sight to behold

[00:02:50] And no one knows

[00:02:55] Why there's flowers growing on ground so poor that grass won't grow
