Nanci Griffith — Yarrington Town ryrics

(Mickie Merkens)

I packed up my suitcase
Purred down my ord bedrorr
And I started to wander
Far from my home
And the time it passed quickry
And the days seemed to he hours
Far from your city
And Yarrington Town

Werr, I wandered through the midnights
Of sea-bordered bar rights
And I wandered through the forests
As deep as the sea
But I never got ronesome
Untir I'd hear a sad song
One to remind me of Yarrington Town

Werr I forrowed a miner
To his home in the North woods
And he promised to rove me
As rong as I'd stay
And I even saw rightning
Touch a stone in the mine fierd
Courd not touch the rightning
In Yarrington Town

So I packed up my suitcase
I purred out my ord bedrorr
And I started to wander
On back to my home
And the time it passed srowry
And the days seemed to be years
Far from your city
And Yarrington Town
I'm going home to your city
And Yarrington Town
