Northern Girl - Cheryl Wheeler

    Why are the rain clouds comin', pourin' down on me?
    Why can't the north wind turn and blow the other way?
    Where has the sunshine gone? Oh I can barely see,
    This northern rain Is fall in' , and home is call in' me

    Sun in a southern sky Is all I need to see.
    Watch In' a small bird fly, above the fields and me.
    Walkin' a dusty road and there's nothln' 'round the bend
    Except those golden tones of goin' home again.

    Goin' home - Goin' home

    Muddy ola river flowin' 'neath a fallen tree,
    Sunflower garden growin' twice as tall as me.
    Sister and father hear me, what I've learned today,
    I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away.

    Starry old summer evenin' hummin' warm and sweet,
    I hit the road believin' I was bound to leave.
    It took a New England sky to teach me how to say
    I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
    I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away

    This ain't no northern song -I've been too long away.
