Let us play one more, my friend
Did you bring your old guitar?
I will sing so clear and high
You can hear it from afar
I saw you last in younger years
In the light around the fire
Tell me, where's the fairest view?
Is it heaven or North Carolina?
You tended the tomato rows
In the garden that we grew
We were all in love back then
In Cedar Grove in June
You called the steps and we danced that night
And many more to come
In the old tobacco barn
All the ancient songs were sung
And the church bells are ringing
And your sisters are singing
And the fiddles and the forest
And the creatures are the chorus
Sugar maple's leafing out
And the baby's almost here
You're not getting older now
In the greening time of year
You came to me in dreams last night
Wild-haired and sparkle-eyed
Tender one, oh winged heart
True and free you fly
And the church bells are ringing
And your sisters are singing
And the fiddles and the forest
And the creatures are the chorus
And the church bells are ringing
And your sisters are singing
And the fiddles and the forest
And the creatures are the chorus
