Longing For Home by Carolina Blue Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rollin' fields of bluegrass on the hillside
Cattle grazin' up on a ridge
That old mountain preacher tellin' us about Heaven
And that little country church house 'round the block
[Verse 2]
Let me tell you that time passes slow to a young man
Before you know it, your mind will start to green
And take him far away to the lights on the sea
And the pleasures of life that he's never seen
[Chorus]
And I wonder if Daddy's still plowin' in the meadow
If the old farmhouse still looks the same
Does my Mama still sing on the front porch while shе's workin'
Rock of ages, rock of ages, play for me
[Verse 4]
You know I can still hеar her voice in my
I can see her on the back porch breakin' beans
I can still hear her call, "Help!" my name by her bedside
Oh, Lord, won't you keep him near to thee
[Chorus]
And I wonder if Daddy's still plowin' in the meadow
If the old farmhouse still looks the same
Does my Mama still sing on the front porch while she's workin'
Rock of ages, rock of ages, play for me
Rollin' fields of bluegrass on the hillside
Cattle grazin' up on a ridge
That old mountain preacher tellin' us about Heaven
And that little country church house 'round the block
[Verse 2]
Let me tell you that time passes slow to a young man
Before you know it, your mind will start to green
And take him far away to the lights on the sea
And the pleasures of life that he's never seen
[Chorus]
And I wonder if Daddy's still plowin' in the meadow
If the old farmhouse still looks the same
Does my Mama still sing on the front porch while shе's workin'
Rock of ages, rock of ages, play for me
[Verse 4]
You know I can still hеar her voice in my
I can see her on the back porch breakin' beans
I can still hear her call, "Help!" my name by her bedside
Oh, Lord, won't you keep him near to thee
[Chorus]
And I wonder if Daddy's still plowin' in the meadow
If the old farmhouse still looks the same
Does my Mama still sing on the front porch while she's workin'
Rock of ages, rock of ages, play for me
