The dirt was clay and was the color of the blood in me On a twelve-acre farm on a ridge in south Tennessee We left our sweat all over that land behind a mule we watched grow old row after row Trying to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow There was one old store in the holler we all called town It belonged to a gentle old man named Henry Brown He gave credit in the wintertime so we could live through the cold when wind brought the snow Trying to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow The one I loved walked through those fields with me He was a hardworking man, as true as one could be But last year death was going 'round and swiftly took its toll he had to go Now he lies asleep underground, so poor, that grass won't grow As I stand here looking over this part of Tennessee The fields are bare as far as the eye can see And over the grave where my love lies there's a beautiful sight to behold and no one knows Why there's flowers blooming on ground, so poor, that grass won't grow Now there's flowers blooming on ground, so poor, that grass won't grow
