outside the nashville city limits

Singer:baez, joan

outside the nashville city limits

a friend and i did drive

on a day in early winter

i was glad to be alive. we went to see some friends of his

who lived upon a farm. strange and gentle country folk

who would wish nobody harm. fresh-cut sixty acres

eight cows in the barn. but the thing that i remember

on that cold day in december

was that my eyes they did brim over

as we talked. in the slowest drawl i had ever heard

the man said come with me
