버피 세인트 마리는 프로테스트 포크에서 포크락, 컨트리를 아우르는 다양한 장르의 음악을 자유롭게 소화해 낸다. 본 작은 그녀의 개인적인 꿈의 하나였던 내쉬빌 최고의 컨트리 아티스트들과 함께 작업한 작품으로 쳇 앳킨스에 필적하는 뛰어난 기타 플레이어 GRADY MARTIN과 전설적인 피아니스트 FLOYD CRAMER등이 참여하고 있다. 아메리칸 인디언의 비애를 노래한 "TALL TREE IN GEORGIA"가 담겨있는 것만으로도 이 앨범의 광채는 사그러들지 않는다. .... ....
The rain is falling lightly on the buildings and the cars I've said goodbye to city friends, department stores and bars The lights of town are at my back, my heart is full of stars And I'm gonna be a country girl again
Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre green And I'm gonna be a country girl again
I spent some time in study, oh, I've taken my degrees And memorized my formula, my A's and B's and C's But what I know came long ago and not from such as these And I'm gonna be a country girl again
Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre green And I'm gonna be a country girl again
I've wandered in the hearts of men looking for the sign But here I might learn happiness, I might learn peace of mind The one who taught my lesson was the soft wind through the pines I'm gonna be a country girl again
Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre green And I'm gonna be a country girl again
Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre green And I'm gonna be a country girl again
I'm a rambler and a rover and a wanderer it seems I've travelled all over chasing after my dreams But a dream should come true and a heart should be filled And a life should be lived in the Piney Wood Hills
I'll return to the woodlands, I'll return to the snow I'll return to the hills, and the valley below I'll return as a poor man or a king if God wills But I'm on my way home to the Piney Wood Hills
I was raised on a song there I done right, I done wrong there And it's true I belong there And it's true it's my home
From ocean to ocean I've rambled and roamed And soon I'll return to my Piney Wood home Maybe someday I'll find someone who will Love as I love my Piney Wood Hills
I was raised on a song there I done right, I done wrong there And it's true I belong there And it's true it's my home
I'll return to the woodlands, I'll return to the snow I'll return to the hills and the valley below I'll return as a poor man or a king if God wills But I'm on my way home to the Piney Wood Hills
Can you remember the times That you have held your head high And told all your friends of your Indian claim Proud good lady and proud good man Your great-great grandfather from Indian blood sprang And you feel in your heart for these ones
Oh it's written in books and in song That we've been mistreated and wronged Well over and over I hear the same words From you good lady and you good man Well listen to me if you care where we stand And you feel you're a part of these ones
When a war between nations is lost The loser, we know, pays the cost But even when Germany fell to your hands Consider dear lady, consider dear man
You left them their pride and you left them their land And what have you done to these ones
Has a change come about Uncle Sam Or are you still taking our lands A treaty forever George Washington signed He did dear lady, he did dear man And the treaty's being broken by Kinzua Dam And what will you do for these ones
Oh, it's all in the past you can say But it's still going on here today The government now want the Iroquois land That of the Senaca and the Cheyenne It's here and it's now you can help us dear man Now that the buffalo's gone.
