lyrics

I once had a girl down in Charleston town,
We walked hand in hand on the Battery,
Then away she ran with a California man,
And I'll never go back down Charleston way.

CHORUS
So here's to the bloom of the flowers,
And here's to the fall of the leaves,
And here's to the hearts of lovers and leavers,
God have mercy on you and me.

I once had a girl in the New York hills;
We planted a garden in May.
But I couldn't get past that old Mason-Dixon Line,
And she'll never come back down Virginia way.

CHORUS

In the spring, the forsythia's blooming,
And the redbud lights up the woods,
And the locust tree smells like a sad, sweet melody,
I'd breathe it forever if I could.
