Old Country Country Lyrics

One two three four)
Back on the coast of Wales to trace my people
I came upon a tombstone with my name
And as I lay down my rose
I knew I was not alone
Red hair and green eyes were watchin' me
She took me to her home to play her sweet music
And sitting by her fire I took her in
She was singin' soft and low
I heard an echo in my soul
Like something I had left here a long time ago

In the old country
Fiddle and a fife
Songs about love, songs about life
In the old country, country
Like the blood in my veins
Thunder in the meadow
Like the lightning on the plains
On the plains
She took me by the hand to see the great churches
And the taverns where the old men sit and lie
And it warmed me to my bones
Like a photograph of home
That some things are the same
No matter where you go

In the old country
Fiddle and a fife
Songs about love, songs about life
In the old country, country
Like the blood in my veins
Thunder in the meadow
Lightning on the plains
On the plains
Li li li la la la li li li li li li
Li li li la la la li li li li li li

In the old country
Fiddle and a fife
Songs about love, songs about life
In the old country, country
Like the blood in my veins
Thunder in the meadow
Lightning on the plains
