Northern Girl

nd Fret Intro: Why are the rain clouds coming and pouring down on me? And why can't the north wind turn and blow the other way? And where has the sunshine gone? Oh, I can barely see This northern rain is falling, and home is calling me Sun in a southern sky is all I need to see Just watching a small bird fly, above the fields and me Walking a dusty road and there's nothing 'round the bend Except for golden tones of going home again Going home______ Going home______ Muddy old river flowing 'neath a fallen tree And sunflower garden growing 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 Going home______ Going home______ And on a starry old summer evening, humming warm and sweet I hit the road believing, I was bound to leave And 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 and I've been too long away
