These great fields are stretching,
Taking me oh so far
Great fields are stretching,
Savannah stretching oh so far
And this dry air is taking
My girl and it's oh so hard
And i wish i had a melody for a songbird to sing back my love
Oh my savannah,
Did it have to be so hard?
Oh my savannah,
Taking all my love and all my heart
Tailor won't you make me
The finest suit so dark and black and grey
And old john won't you lend me
The finest gun your eyes have ever laid
The fastest bullet flying,
So quick nobody ever feel no pain
'cause the plains they took my baby
And i'm gonna take her to the funeral beds to lay
And oh my savannah,
Did it have to be so hard?
Oh my savannah,
Taking all my love and all my heart
Oh no no ...
Oh no no ...
Oh no no ...
Oh no no ...
Oh no no ...
Oh no no ...
And i'm struggling,and i'm stumbling,
And i need to start
I'm struggling, and i'm stumbling
I need a friend
And i'm struggling,and i'm stumbling,
I need you in my heart
No no no ...
Oh no no ...
Oh no no ...
Tailor won't you make me
The finest suit so dark and black and grey
And old john won't you lend me
The finest gun your eyes have ever laid
The fastest bullet flying,
So quick nobody ever feel no pain
'cause the plains they took my baby
And i'm gonna take her to the funeral beds to lay
No no no ...
Oh no no ...
Oh no no ...
Oh no no ...
Oh no no ...
Oh no no ...
And i'm struggling,and i'm stumbling,
And i need to start
And i'm struggling,and i'm stumbling,
I need you in my heart
I hate to say i love you,
But oh goddamn i love you,
You know i do
But you're gone away, gone away, gone away
These great fields are stretching,
Taking me oh so far
