George Jones & Dolly Parton,
Trisha Yearwood, Emmylou Harris

The dirt was clay an' was the color of the blood in me.
A twelve acre farm on a ridge in south Tennessee.
We left our sweat all over that land,
Behind a mule we watched grow old,
Row after row.
Trying to grow corn an' cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow.

There was one old store in the holler we all called town.
It belonged to a gentle old man named Henry Brown.
He gave us grits and in the winter time,
So we could live through the cold,
When the winds brought snow.
Trying to grow corn an' cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow.

The one I loved walked through those fields with me.
A hard workin' woman, true as one could be.
But then one year, death was goin' round,
And swiftly took it's toll.
Janie had to go.
Now she lies asleep under ground so poor that grass won't grow.

As I stand here looking over this part of Tennessee,
The fields are bare as far as the eye can see.
And over the ground where Janie lies,
There's a beautiful sight to behold,
And no one knows,
Why there's flowers growin' on ground so poor that grass won't grow...

  • A PICTURE OF ME WITHOUT YOU

  • What My Woman Cant Do
    "It amazes me how she can change my mind
    When it seems to be impossible, she can do it every time

    I keep asking myself what is it the lady can't do?..."
  • Once Youve Had the Best
    "I'm so glad to have you back within these arms of mine
    I can finally close these eyes and get some rest
    Never once did I think of finding someone new
    'Cause there's nothing better, once you've had the best...."
  • Her Name Is...
    "Oh, I love her and just can't live without her
    And I've got the urge to tell the world about her
    But our love's a secret and can't see the light of day
    But I went and wrote this love song anyway..."

    But he refused to fall..."

    If you'd like to take the grand tour
    Of a lonely house that once was home sweet home
