Tennessee Soul

from The Atlantic & America by Ironwood Run

/

about

Recorded in Pullman, Washington

lyrics

Well my dreams are full of moonshine
And my head's wanderin through the pines
And my feet they’re getting lonesome for
Those cornfields of mine

Wish my hands was splittin kindling
Or my heart swingin from a limb
Hangin’ low across the river
Where you taught me to swim

So mama don’t you worry
Your boys a’comin home
Mama don’t you cry
I got a Tennessee soul

We been wanderin for a long time
From the Channel to Rhine
And if hopelessness was dollars
Well I wouldn’t need a dime

The old world’s getting older
And the summer’s gone cold
And it all should be over
Least that’s what I was told

[chorus]

the four winds are a-blowin
and my thoughts start to flow
to the river I was born on
and a nephew I don’t know

cuz my lover she is lonesome
got a two-year-old son
and you I don’t get to meet him
till this damn war is done

[chorus]
