LINDSEY'S SONG
Tommy Carter - Copyright 2004
Verse 1
Lindsey, girl, how I love you, he said.
My heart's delight, where have you gone?
I saw you inthe evening light. On the old Indian Trail.
Down by the gate on into that littlevale.
Listening to the song of the night-in-gale.
Verse 2
Lindsey, my girl, I saw you by the pond in the pines,
hair all a-whirl. I heard your Daddy callin'
Girl, domn't you know,that boy lives in a pick-up truck! He's got notjhin' buta sleepin' bag,an old guitar and a
whole lot of bad luck.
Verse 3
You know you are the apple of your Daddy's eye.
You know you are the berries in your Mama's pie.
Lindsey, my girl, you are my brightest dream,
And to find you again is my only scheme. he said.
End
When she got home, Lindsey said, Dadda, I led that boy
on a chase!
I don't know if he'll ever find his way out of Carter's
Swamp.
But, it he does, I want him to say, You're gonna be my girl,
by and by.
