Dolly Parton - Where Grass Won't Grow (with Goerge Jones, Emmylou Harris and Trish Yearwood Lyrics

Writer Earl Montgomery
Copyright 1968


The dirt was clay and was the color of the blood in me
A twelve acre farm on a ridge is southern Tennessee
We left that sweat all over that land behind a mule we watched grow old
Row after row trying to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won
