Blue Highway - Sycamore Hollow lyrics

Artist: Blue Highway

album: Some Day: The Fifteenth Anniversary Collection


It was down by the forked stream
Out in Sycamore Holler
I wen't down in my best of dress
To take her from her father
With hair down to her waist
The color of strawberries
Down by the forked stream
By nightfall we would marry
I sure love the farmer's daughter
Back in Sycamore Holler
On a horse seventeen hands high
He rode in Sherman's army
To Atlanta town against her will
They took my woman from me
Well I grabbed my knife and both of my guns
And in a loud voice I did call her
Upon a lightning horse I swore once more
As I left Sycamore Holler
I will bring the farmer's daughter
Back to Sycamore Holler
It was down by the river's edge
To see the campfire flicker
Four dead men lay behind
As I leave that campsite with her
Now our children play in a forked stream
Out in Sycamore Holler
A boy like me a girl like her
We'll always be together
I sure love the farmer's daugther
Back in Sycamore Holler
