Jimmie Rodgers - Find The Girl Lyrics

I had wondered, I was told
There's no use to search for gold
Get you some land you can call your own
Find the girl that you left back home

Woke in the morning and I heard the sound
Of rain that was giving it's life to the ground
Breathe in the air fresh and clear
Thank the lord for having you near

I had wondered, I was told
There's no use to search for gold
Get you some land you can call your own
Find the girl that you left back home

I walked toward the hill where the sun was to rise
The joy of the land I could see with my eyes
My heart it is filled with a love that is true
These hands darling are working for you

I had wondered, I was told
There's no use to search for gold
Get you some land you can call your own
Find the girl that you left back home

Betsy I'm coming I hear you now
There's trees to be cleared and fields to be ploughed
Through all the years grateful we will be
For a home that is ours and a land that is free

I had wondered, I was told
There's no use to search for gold
Get you some land you can call your own
Find the girl that you left back home
Find the girl that you left back home
