Tom T. Hall - Strawberry Farms lyrics

Summer comes laughing to strawberry farms Have you ever been there, where the wind never blows Summer comes early to strawberry farms Oh the sun always shines, but an orphan can't go My mother is dead, she doesn't care where i go My father left a long, long time ago I had me a frog, he never whined or cried I kept him in my pocket and he died Summer comes laughing to strawberry farms Have you ever been there, where the wind never blows Summer comes early to strawberry farms Oh the sun always shines, but an orphan can't go Bobby had a brother, he got k**ed in the war I asked him but he didn't know what for My mother was pretty, she had long black hair Once, she promised me a teddy bear Summer comes laughing to strawberry farms Have you ever been there, where the wind never blows Summer comes early to strawberry farms Oh the sun always shines, and things don't die
