Chatham County Line - The Traveler lyrics

rate me

I am from Frisco, many days come

And I long to get back to where I’m from

For I never saw a woman with a sweeter gaze

Than that woman I loved in my younger days

Well I’ve seen the orchard, the redwoods tall

Tasted the fruit, the sirens call

Settled horse and slept in fields

I know this land I know how it feels

I am the traveler

I am the one

I am the rover

My love is gone

Well, I’ve seen a face draw a thousand stares

Anyone in the world just as fair

But I never saw an eye that shed your hue

Your lips that spoke words half as true

I am the traveler

I am the one

I am the rover

My love is gone

I am from Frisco, many days come

And I’ll never get back to where I’m from

I know that woman, she waits for me

For I laid the stone she’s underneath

I am the traveler

I am the one

I am the rover

My love is gone
