CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# We met on The Carolinian

# Heading south from DC

# It's as if God himself had picked out our seats

# She smiled and said "Richmond" when I asked where she was bound

# I began to wish my life away to have been born in that town

# We talked a little bit and then she smiled, I saw down in her eyes

# She wasn't just beautiful, she was kind and she was wise

# But a woman down in Raleigh, would soon have my son

# So I waited for her station like a bullet from a gun

# She's in Richmond with my heart

# And I'm bound for Carolina

# Wish I'd never met this train

# Or the girl it's left behind

# When the train reached the station, she looked me in the eye

# Said, "Come with me to Richmond and we'll start a brand new life"

# Well, you know that moment still weighs on my mind

# Cos I took my body to Raleigh, and left my heart behind

# She's in Richmond with my heart

# And I'm bound for Carolina

# Wish I'd never met this train

# Or the girl it's left behind

# Oh, now we're apart

# So while I'm bound for Carolina

# She's in Richmond with my heart

# My son is grown up to my hand, and he fills me with pride

# I take him down to the station to watch the trains roll by

# But that northbound Carolinian always makes the teardrops start

# Cos it's headed up to Virginia where I left my heart

# She's in Richmond with my heart

# And I'm bound for Carolina

# Wish I'd never met this train

# Or the girl that's left behind her

# Now we're apart

# So while I'm down in Carolina

# She's in Richmond with my heart

# I'm still down in Carolina

# She's in Richmond with my heart. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

AUDIENCE CLAPS ALONG TO THE MUSIC

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# If my ears hear a sigh of a shiny red violin

# Clear by the Rivanna, down in the Blue Ridge

# By the dog bags and trash, by the bottles and cans

# And the dead beat brown grass

# And the pack dirt in the Blue Ridge

# Then my home must be around another good old Virginia block

# If my ears hear a note on the cello, so low

# Then a double stopping bow

# From my headphones, in the Blue Ridge

# Out walking at noon, appearing under the white of the daytime moon

# Keeping my big blue balloon in my tight fist, in the Blue Ridge

# Then my home must be around another good old Virginia block

# Ooh, ooh

# If my ears hear a sound of a slate rock on the ground

# Clicking the drops of the rain coming down

# Along a front walk, in the Blue Ridge

# The rim of dirt on the brim of a brow

# The skin of sweat on the handle of a plough

# Miles and miles of tobacco in the south

# From a back road, in the Blue Ridge

# Then my home must be around another good old Virginia block

# Well, I've got family in Canada, family in New York

# I've got friends in every other place I've played

# Ooh, but I can't keep from planting all my plans of family stuff

# Down between the weeds in the red dirt clay

# And where my ears hear a hundred bees riding that upwarding breeze

# A veil and a bucket by a pair of oak trees

# Just another blonde kid, in the Blue Ridge

# It's all to make a pattern of love, to roost a lava field of white doves

# With just a pitch fork and a pair of thick gloves

# For your whole life, in the Blue Ridge

# The pick up and go, the bent back and the grunt-chucked coal

# The gleam of your white underclothes

# In my back seat, in the Blue Ridge

# The pile of bacon by a couple fried eggs

# Kiss marks and hearts on a picnic table leg

# The quartet fretting on up in my head

# On my long walk, through the Blue Ridge

# And my home comes up around another good old Virginia block. #

Aaoww!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# There's a girl in this world like a pearl

# She's the one, got my heart in a swirl

# Everyone know her name ain't Rose

# She's the one who knows just what to do

# And just while she'll make you smile

# They all call her Tallacatcha

# Yeah

# Spend my day raking hay, now I play

# Shine and shade and I hitch up to Shane

# And that ride, it takes all night

# Find that girl called Tallacatcha

# There's a girl in this world like a pearl

# She's the one, got my heart in a swirl

# Everyone know her name ain't Rose

# They all call her Tallacatcha

# They all call her Tallacatcha

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# How she could sing the wildwood flower

# The orphan girl he would love so long

# In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour

# And all he has left of her is a song

# He first saw her

# Standing by a cabin door

# Her voice was ringing

# In a song so strong and sure

# To the lonesome valley

# He'd bring her there to be his bride

# Where they would live and work together

# Side by side

# She was his sunshine

# She was his moon and morning star

# His words would ring true

# On the chords of her guitar

# But he was driven

# And lost to her for days and days

# Till the lonesome valley finally drove her far away

# How she could sing the wildwood flower

# The orphan girl he would love so long

# In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour

# And all he has left of her is a song

# O-o-h O-o-h

# O-o-h

# We all cling to

# As the years keep rolling on

# One single promise

# Of a love that's past and gone

# And that lonesome valley

# We all walk it by ourselves

# Where the wildwood flower

# Is a story we will tell

# How she could sing the wildwood flower

# The orphan girl he would love so long

# In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour

# And all he has left of her is a song

# How she could sing the wildwood flower

# All we have left of her is a song. #

# Keeps us so far apart

# Why can't I free your doubtful mind

# And melt your cold, cold heart?

# Another love

# Before my time

# Made your heart sad and blue

# And so my heart is paying now

# For things I didn't do
