Sun in a southern sky Is all
I need to see.
Watch In' a small bird fly,
above the fields and me.
Walkin' a dusty road and there's
nothln' 'round the bend
Except those golden tones
of goin' home again.
Goin' home - Goin' home
Muddy ola river flowin' 'neath
a fallen tree,
Sunflower garden growin' twice
as tall as me.
Sister and father hear me,
what I've learned today,
I ain't no northern girl,
I've been too long away.
Starry old summer evenin' hummin'
warm and sweet,
I hit the road believin' I
was bound to leave.
It took a New England sky
to teach me how to say
I ain't no northern girl,
I've been too long away
I ain't no northern girl,
I've been too long away
This ain't no northern song -I've been too long away.
