Tall Trees In Georgia - Eva Cassidy

This is one, um, that I used to listen to when I was a little, little kid

My parents had, um, this record and I’d listen to it over and over and um

I’ve been wanting to do this song for a really long time

Um, it’s called Tall Trees In Georgia

Sung:

Tall trees in Georgia

They grow so high

They shade me so

And sadly walking

Through the thicket I go

The sweetest love

I ever had I left aside

Because I did not

Want to be any man’s bride

But now I’m older

And married I would be

I found my sweetheart

But he would not marry me

When I was younger

The boys all came around

But now I’m older

And they’ve all settled down

«Control your mind, my girl

And give your heart to one

For if you love all men

You’ll be surley left with none»

Tall trees in Georgia

They grow so high

They shade me so

And sadly walking

Through the thicket I go
