Lyrics
Heartstrings
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Way up north where the snow flies and the sun don't
hardly shine
If it weren't for my true love, I'd long ago lost my
mind
I'd long ago lost my mind
There's good folks here, good folks there, most
everywhere I go
But the land of my heart is down where the snow white
cotton grows
Where the snow white cotton grows
When the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll
take to the higher ground
When the water goes down again we'll saddle our old
paint
We'll be homeward bound
Me and my love will be homeward bound
Heartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak
tree
Holdin' through tornado winds
Tougher than timber, stronger than steel
They'll guide me back southward again
They'll guide me back southward again
When the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll
take to the higher ground
And when the water goes down again we'll saddle our
old paint
We'll be homeward bound
Me and my love will be homeward bound
