Where The Grass Won't Grow - George Jones (乔治·琼斯)[00:00:00]

The dirt was clay and was color of the blood in me[00:00:04]

A twelve acre farm on a ridge in south Tennessee[00:00:13]

We left our sweat all over that land[00:00:21]

Behind a mule we watched grow old[00:00:25]

Row after row[00:00:31]

Tryin' to grow corn and cotton on ground[00:00:36]

So poor that grass won't grow[00:00:40]

There was one old store in the holler we all called town[00:00:50]

It belonged to a gentle old man named Henry Brown[00:00:58]

He gave us credit in the winter time o[00:01:07]

We could live through the cold[00:01:11]

When the winds brought snow[00:01:16]

Tryin' to grow corn and cotton on ground[00:01:21]

So poor that grass won't grow[00:01:24]

Oh the one I loved walked through those fields with me[00:01:35]

I hard workin' woman true as one could be[00:01:43]

Oh but then one year death was goin' round[00:01:51]

And swiftly took it's toll[00:01:55]

Janie had to go[00:02:00]

Now she lies asleep under ground[00:02:06]

So poor that grass won't grow[00:02:09]

As I stand here looking over this part of Tennessee[00:02:19]

The fields are bare as far as the eye can see[00:02:27]

And over the grains where Janie lies there's a[00:02:35]

Beautiful sight to behold[00:02:39]

And no one knows[00:02:44]

Why there's flowers growing on ground[00:02:49]

So poor that grass won't grow[00:02:53]
