There's a girl who lives In old Rockingham Who lusts after all kinds of waltzes She waltz through the rain on sycamore Sundays She waltz through the troubles of man Through the embers and ashes of poplar leaf pollen Neath the strong lovin' branches of the ironwoods frame She waltz through the fields of July fire And all through The wild scent of hay She waltz, she waltz, through the fields of her father Lawfully laboring and romancin' She waltz, she waltz, through toil and triumph Keeping in time just the same She raises up children on faith and good promise Leavens the daily bread of descent She waltzes with baskets of wood and well water With never a woe in her step Through the years she's a waltzing Tasting blessings and heart-ache The jams of wild berries The bitter tonics of loss Sweat on her brow from the toils of labor With never a trace of regret She waltz, she waltz, through the fields of her father Watching the skylight at sundown She waltz, she waltz, with a child on her bosom Rendering the blessings of man This old world she's a troubled With populous peoples Starving the fields of their grains There's daggers and arrows And quills and fine needles To pierce hearts In various ways Lest the constancy of seasons should halt in their rhythm Lest the winds should always subside Man will yet suffer, but joy shall not perish The oceans, they waltz with the tides We waltz, we waltz, through the fields of our fathers Following old ways best we can We waltz we waltz, for life's joy and life's sorrow Sometimes they're a one in the same Sometimes they're a one in the same Sometimes they're a one in the same
