Tall Trees in Georgia (Buffy Sainte-Marie)

Tall trees in Georgia they grow so high they shade me so

And sadly walking through the thicket I goThe sweetest love I ever had I left aside

Because I did not want to be any man's brideBut now I'm older and married I would be

I found my sweetheart but he would not marry meWhen I was younger the boys all came around

But now I'm older and they've all settled downControl your mind my girl and give your heart to one

For if you love all men you'll be surely left with noneTall trees in Georgia they grow so high they shade me so

And sadly walking through the thicket I go
