Where Grass Won't Grow - George Jones[00:00:00]

The dirt was clay and was the color of the blood in me[00:00:05]

A twelve acre farm on a ridge in south Tennessee[00:00:14]

We left our sweat all over that land behind a mule we watched grow old[00:00:23]

Row after row[00:00:33]

Tryin' to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow[00:00:38]

There was one old store in the holler we all called town[00:00:52]

It belonged to a gentle old man named Henry Brown[00:01:01]

He gave us credit in the winter time so we could live through the cold[00:01:10]

When the winds brought snow[00:01:19]

Tryin' to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow[00:01:24]

Oh the one I loved walked through those fields with me[00:01:39]

She was a hard workin' woman true as one could be[00:01:47]

Oh but then one year death was goin' round and swiftly took it's toll[00:01:56]

Janie had to go[00:02:05]

Now she lies asleep under ground so poor that grass won't grow[00:02:10]

As I stand here looking over this part of Tennessee[00:02:24]

The fields are bare as far as the eye can see[00:02:32]

And over the grave where Janie lies there's a beautiful sight to behold[00:02:41]

And no one knows[00:02:50]

Why there's flowers growing on ground so poor that grass won't grow[00:02:55]
