Mountain Fern
Lyricist:Cantrell Laura Rose
She left her home on the mountain as a young girl And she traveled and rambled all through the wide world And the world was Kentucky and then Tennessee West Virginia to Texas, everything in between
And her name would be different from place to place And her heart might get heavy sometimes With a worn prayer book in her guitar case In a boarding house room, her banjo she plays
And the wind blows the mountain fern She sways and bends in the breeze And our Dixie darlin' is callin' him She's fallin' right down to her knees Do you know who to please?
Road it got dusty, hot, long and hard Travelin' night, noon and mornin' in an old Packard car And though she found fame and fortune on the radio waves Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Well, it never came easy and she longed to be saved
Those hills in Knoxville with their fine white mist Settled over everything Put a chill in her heart like the devil's kiss In the morning light she turns to the King
And the wind blows the mountain fern She sways and bends in the breeze And our Dixie darlin' is callin' him She's fallin' right down to her knees She finally knows who to please
And it feels so good just to hear your voice Rising up with mine, oh, that is a joyous noise And I hope someday you will understand why my song Must be sung for Him, played for Him Written for Him as they're given by Him, yes
