Chorus:
A heartsong melody plays like a symphony The sweetest music I have ever known A song of joy and pain The mountain angels sing A bittersweet refrain of my Smoky Mountain home, heartsong Farmer's daughter if you will And I often wonder still In memories where I rambled as a child Makes me cry and makes me laugh My reflections on the past And the family, friends, and faith that shaped my life Ragged clothes and hand-me-downs Just enough to go around But the sweetest things in life are always free Like the songs the birds would sing And the sweet new grass of spring And the sacred blossoms on the dogwood tree Repeat Chorus And I recall the thrill and joy Of a Smoky Mountain boy I remember my first kiss and my first love And the songs I'd song and write And the dreams I'd clutch so tight And the loved ones that gave me that extra shove And in that little house 'a prayer Where I spent many hour Praisin' God and liftin' up His name And asking Him to lead and to keep watch over me As I headed up that rocky road to fame And now this, Smoky Mountain girl has been all around the world But it makes no difference just how far I roam I still cling to that part that is so dear to my heart My faith in God and memories of home Repeat Chorus |

Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blues eyes
Who is sailing all over the sea And I'm thinking tonight of him only And I wonder does he ever think of me Could been better for us both had we never In this wide wicked world had never met For the pain and the pleasures he's brought me I am sure I will never forget So I'm thinking tonight of my blues eyes... Oh you told me once dear that you love me And you swore that we never would part But a linking the chain has been broken Leaving me with a sad broken heart Yes I'm thinking tonight of my blues eyes And I wonder does he ever think of me |

On a cold winty night as the winds blew across the wild moor
Poor Mary came wandering home with her child Till she came at her own father's door Papa oh papa she cried come down and open the door Or the child in my arms will perish and die From the winds that blow across the wild moor But the man was deaf to her cry not a sound of her voice did he hear While the watch dogs did howl and the village bells tolled The winds blew across the wild moor Oh how the old man must have felt When he came to the door the next morn And found Mary dead but the child yet alive Clutched close to his dead mother's breast Now the old man in grief pined away And the day to it's mother went soon And no one they say has lived there to this day And the cottage is left to ruins Now the villagers point out the place Where the willows droop over the door Saying there Mary died once a gay village bride From the winds that blew across the wild moor From the winds that blew across the wild moor |

In the pines in the pines where the sun never shines
And we shiwered when the cold wind blows My love my love what have I done that makes you treat me so You've caused me to weep you've caused ne to mourn You've caused me to leave my home In the pines in the pines... [ fiddle ] The longest train I ever saw went down that Georgia line The engine passed at six o'clock the caboose went by at nine In the pines in the pines... I asked my captain for the time of day He said he throwed his watch away In the pines in the pines... |

Fly away from my window little blue bird
Fly as far as you can away from here And let not your song fall upon my ear Go spread your blue wings and I'll shed my blue tears For the one that I have loved He has left me and gone An' I'm in no mood for to hear your sad song Bring not your light into my dark room, yellow sunshine Waste not your warmth on the cold glisten here Oh, trouble me not Go ye elsewhere Go light your blue sky and I'll shed my blue tears For the only one that I have ever loved has gone away An' I'm in no mood for the sunshine today Go spread your blue wings Go light your blue sky An' I'll shed my blue tears |

He lived by the apple orchard in this little old orchard shack
His real name was Jackson Taylor but I called him Applejack Now old Applejack was loved by everyone he ever knew Applejack picked apples but he picked the banjo too Chorus: Play a song for me Applejack, Applejack Play a song for me and I'll sing Play a song for me Applejack, Applejack Play a song, let your banjo ring Now I'd go down to Applejack's almost everyday We'd sit and we'd drink applejack that old Applejack had made Then he'd take his banjo down then he'd ask me if I'd sing And he would play the banjo and I'd play my tambourine Repeat Chorus That's when I was just a kid and now that I am grown All I have are memories, old Applejack is gone Oh but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back And everytime I play it, I still hear Applejack Repeat Chorus 3 Times |

Back through the years
I go wonderin' once again Back to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of rags that someone gave us And how my momma put the rags to use There were rags of many colors Every piece was small And I didn't have a coat And it was way down in the fall Momma sewed the rags together Sewin' every piece with love She made my coat of many colors That I was so proud of As she sewed, she told a story From the bible, she had read About a coat of many colors Joseph wore and then she said Perhaps this coat will bring you Good luck and happiness And I just couldn't wait to wear it And momma blessed it with a kiss My coat of many colors That my momma made for me Made only from rags But I wore it so proudly Although we had no money I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colors My momma made for me So with patches on my britches Holes in both my shoes In my coat of many colors I hurried off to school Just to find the others laughing And making fun of me In my coat of many colors My momma made for me And oh I couldn't understand it For I felt I was rich And I told them of the love My momma sewed in every stitch And I told 'em all the story Momma told me while she sewed And how my coat of many colors Was worth more than all their clothes But they didn't understand it And I tried to make them see That one is only poor Only if they choose to be Now I know we had no money But I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colors My momma made for me Made just for me |

You oughta go north somebody told us
'Cause the air is filled with gold dust And fortune falls like snow flakes in your hands Now I don't recall you said it But we'd lived so long on credit And so we headed out to find our promised land Just poor Appalachian farm folk With nothing more than high hopes We hitched our station wagon to a star But our dreams all fell in on us 'Cause there was no land of promise And it's a stuggle keepin' sight of who you are Oh and these northern nights are dreary And my southern heart is weary I wonder how the old folks are back home But I'll keep leanin' on sweet Jesus I know He'll love and guide and lead us Appalachian memories keep me strong Ya know I've been thinkin' a whole lot lately About what's been and what awaits me It takes all I've got to give what life demands You go insane if you give in to it Life's a mill and I've been through it I'm just thankful I'm creative with my hands Oh and these northern nights are dreary And my southern eyes are teary Don't I wonder how the old folks are back home But I'll keep leanin' on my Jesus I know he'll love and guide and lead us Appalachian memories keep me strong I'll keep lookin' to the Father Keep our heads above the water Appalachian memories keep me strong |

Come and sit by the side of your mother my boy
You have only a moment I know And stay while I give you this parting advice It is all that I have to bestow Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right Wherever your footsteps may roam Oh for sake not the the way of salvation my boy That you've learned from your mother at home In your satchel you'll find there's a Bible my boy It's the book of all others the best It will teach you to live and prepare you to die And will take to the gates of the blest Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right...

Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life
if she did, she never did say so to daddy she never wanted to be more than a mother and a wife if she did, she never did say so to daddy the only thing that seemed to be inportant in her life was to make a house a home and to make us happy Mama never wanted anymore than what she had if she did, she never did say so to daddy He often left her alone, she didn't mind the stayin' home if she did, she never did say so to daddy and she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her if she did, she never did say so to daddy being took for granted was a that thing she accepted and she didn't need those things to make her happy and she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her if she did, she never did say so to daddy One morning we awoke just to find a note Mama carefully wrote and left to daddy and as he began to read it out ears could not beleive it the words she had written there to daddy she said, "the kids are old enough, they don't need me very much I've gone in search for love I need so badly I have needed you so long but I just can't keep holding on" she never meant to come back home if she did, she never did say so to daddy Good-bye to daddy |

Is Forever Longer Than Always Dolly Parton lyrics
Artist: Dolly Parton Album: Heartsongs: Live From Home Year: 1994 Is Forever Longer Than Always Dolly Parton lyrics Artist: Dolly Parton Album: Heartsongs: Live From Home Year: 1994 Your trembling hands held me near Your soft warm lips whispered in my ear You said you'd always love me And we'd always be together And you promised me your love would last forever Is forever longer than always? You're gone from me now and you have been for days And in my mind I can't find the reason why you didn't stay Unless forever is longer than always Is forever longer than always You're gone from me now and you have been for days And in my mind I can't find the reason why you didn't stay Unless forever is longer than always Is forever longer than always?

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world of woe Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger In that bright world to which I go I'm going there to see my father I'm going there no more to roam I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home I know dark clouds will gather around me I know my way is rough and steep Yet beauteous fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed their vigils keep I'm going there to my mother She said she'd meet me when I come I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over me |

Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall Chorus: In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields near by Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody Repeat Chorus Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love Just laughin', talkin', making future plans And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands Repeat Chorus |
