Nanci Griffith - Yarrington Town lyrics

(Mickie Merkens) I packed up my suitcase Pulled down my old bedroll And I started to wander Far from my home And the time it pa**ed quickly And the days seemed to be hours Far from your city And Yarrington Town Well, I wandered through the midnights Of sea-bordered bar lights And I wandered through the forests As deep as the sea But I never got lonesome Until I'd hear a sad song One to remind me of Yarrington Town Well, I followed a miner To his home in the North woods And he promised to love me As long as I'd stay And I even saw lightning Touch a stone in the mine field Could not touch the lightning In Yarrington Town So I packed up my suitcase I pulled out my old bedroll And I started to wander On back to my home And the time it pa**ed slowly And the days seemed to be years Far from your city And Yarrington Town I'm going home to your city And Yarrington Town
