A picking and a grinning and a playing the games
A-listen to what I say
I wish I was down in nashville town
About this time of day
Where the cumberland rows, the sweet breeze blows
And home it ain't far away
But here I sit in New York City
Just a-hanging out every day
Annie, orphan Annie
Are your Nashville nights still warm?
Somewhere in the west of town
There's a comin up a storm
Are your rivers dark and muddy
Where the green swamp willows grow
Nine more days and I'll be home
Back in off the road
Annie, orphan Annie
Are your Nashville nights still warm?
Somewhere in the west of town
There's a comin up a storm
Are your rivers dark and muddy
Where the green swamp willows grow
Nine more days and I'll be home
Back in off the road
Nine more days and I'll be home
Back in off the road
