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
