Northern Girl Lyrics & Chords By Cheryl Wheeler

Why are the rain clouds comin', pourin' down on me?
Why can't the north wind turn and blow the other way?
Where has the sunshine gone? Oh I can barely see,
This northern rain is fallin', and home is callin' me.

Sun in a southern sky is all I need to see.
Watchin' a small bird fly, above the fields and me
Walkin' a dusty road and there's nothin' 'round the bend
Except those golden tones of goin' home again.

Goin' home - goin' home

Muddy old river flowin' 'neath a fallen tree,
Sunflower garden growin' twice as tall as me
Sister and father hear me, what I've learned today
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away.

Goin' home - goin' home

On a starry old summer evenin'
Hummin' warm and sweet
I hit the road believin' I was bound to leave

It took a new england sky to teach me how to say
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
This ain't no northern song - I've been too long away.
