Goin' Back To Harlan
Emmylou Harris
(Intro) (2x) (verse 1) There were no cuckoos no sycamores. We played about the forest floor underneath the silver maples the balsams and the sky. (verse 2) We popped the heads off dandelions assuming roles from nursery rhymes. Rested on the riverbank and grew up by and by. And grew up by and by (bridge) Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove. Ring the bells of rhymney til they ring inside my head forever. Bounce the bow rock the gallows for the hangman’s reel. And wake the devil from his dre-eeee-eam I’m goin back to Harlan oh oh oh oh I’m goin back to Harlan oh oh oh oh I’m going back to Harlan (verse 3) And if you were Willie Moore and I was Barbara Allen or Fair Ellen all sad at the cabin door a-weeping and a-pinin’ for love. A-weeping and a-pinin’ for love. (repeat bridge) (repeat Chorus) (break) (repeat Chorus) (break) (repeat Chorus) (break) (outro)
