come away melinda
Singer:bobbie gentry
a little way away from here
while digging in the ground
come in and close the door
it's nothing but a picture book
there's five or six melinda girls
come in and close the door
there were lots of little girls like you
there's someone grown up very tall
who doesn't look like you
come in and close the door
your father was a man like him
such things i've never seen
there's happy faces all around
and now the ground is green
come in and close the door
that's just the way it used to be
