Your home's in the high lands
Your daddy's a farmer by the sea
They said that's nowhere to be farming
The old country
She lived among the fruit trees
A thousand years underneath the lees
That held her from the winds
Of the sea
There you were, in the world
Country girl
Your boots footless your baskets full along
The pathways to your home
They said that place is not
For one so young
And her black hair with the wild wind danced
And in the evening made shadows on the land
And the people stood and wondered
To see her then
There you were, in the world
Country girl
In the hills from the city
In the high lands by the sea
Her hair still dances in the wind
Of the old country
There you were in the world
Country girl
They you were in the world
Country girl
