NASSAU TOWN
By John D. Loudermilk©1968 Acuff-Rose Publ. Inc.
Tellin' old frown town goodbye
Tellin' old frown town goodbye
I've found a smilin' island town
And I'm a-goin' down 'cause there ain't no frowns 'round Nassau Town
The willow weeps and envys me
Willow weeps and envys me
'Cause he's got roots here and cannot leave
And mine are bound for the ground of Nassau Town
Wind blow
Through my lonesome clothes
So, so long, I'm Bahama bound
So long, I'm Bahama bound
'Cause my heart's already down
Walkin' around and a-settlin' down in Nassau Town
Learnin' to smile and live and love in Nassau Town
