My Little Georgia Rose
Travis Tritt · Other Songs - Travis Tritt
Album: Big Mon The Songs of Bill Monroe
Now come and listen to my story
Story that I know is true
'Bout a rose that blooms in Georgia
With hair of gold and a heart so true.
Chorus:
Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Way down where the tall pines grow
There's my sweetheart of the mountain
She's my little Georgia rose.
--- Instrumental ---
Her mother left her with another
A carefree life she had planned
Maybe now she's a lady
One her mother could not stand.
Chorus:
Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Way down where the tall pines grow
There's my sweetheart of the mountain
She's my little Georgia rose.
--- Instrumental ---
We often sang old songs together
I watched her do her little part
She'd smile at me and I would tell her
That she was my own sweetheart.
Chorus:
Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Way down where the tall pines grow
There's my sweetheart of the mountain
She's my little Georgia rose.
--- Instrumental ---
Chorus:
Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Way down where the tall pines grow
There's my sweetheart of the mountain
She's my little Georgia rose...
