Franklin Limestone

Franklin Limestone, always been my home I was born in Nashville, a place I call my own Where the mountains, and the rivers, and the valleys We were married, you and me We were both so happy just being together Like a possum in the wood So please forgive me if I forget to tell you What you mean to me Hard cold winter took away my mother Papa got the fever, Lord he said he couldn't leave her You carried me through bad times, through the worst times You were my driving wheel We were both so happy just being together Like a possum in the wood So please forgive me if I forget to tell you What you mean to me Workin in a coal mine, slaving in the day time Lookin to the Good Lord for any peace of mind The feeling if you left me on that hillside Would break this heart of mine We were both so happy just being together Like a possum in the wood So please forgive me if I forget to tell you Lord, what you mean to me
