Lyrics:

Tall trees in Georgia,

They grow so high

They shade me so

And sadly walking

Through the thicket I go



The sweetest love I ever had

I left aside

Because I did not want

To be any man's bride

But now I'm older

And married I would be

I found my sweetheart

But he would not marry me



When I was younger

The boys all came around

But now I'm older

And they've all settled down

Control your mind my girl

And give your heart to one

For if you love all men

You'll be surely left with none



Tall trees in Georgia,

They grow so high

They shade me so

And sadly walking

Through the thicket I go
