The Fields Have Turned Brown

1
I left my old home to ramble this country
4 1
My mother and dad said son don’t go wrong
4 1
Remember that God will always watch o’er you
5 1
And we will be waitin’ for you here at home

4 1
Son don’t go astray was what they both told me
5 1
Remember that love for God can be found
4 1
But now they’re both gone this letter just told me
5 1
For years they’ve been dead the fields have turned brown

For many long years I traveled this country
No thoughts of the day when I’d return
Now as I go home and find no one waitin’
The price I have paid to live and to learn
