MARCUS HUMMON/JEFF HANNAH
Back in ireland to trace my people
i came upon a tombstone with my name
as i lay down my rose
i knew i was not alone
red hair and green eyes were watchin' me
she took me to her house and played her music
sitting by the fire i took her in
she was playin' soft and low
i heard an echo in my soul
like something i had left here a long time ago
CHORUS: (she was)
old country, country
fiddle and a fife
songs about love, songs about life
like the blood in my veins
thunder in the meadow
lightning on the plains
she took me by the hand to see the great churches
and the taverns where the old men sit and lie
and it warmed me to my bones
like a photograph of home
that somethings are the same
wherever you go
CHORUS: (she was)
old country, country
fiddle and a fife
songs about love, songs about life
like the blood in my veins
thunder in the meadow
lightning on the plains
came the day i had to go
(i said) i will take you with me wherever i go
