NEW HARMONY
(Craig Johnson)
Jim Ringer - 1977
Evening hillside, summertime
Jars we filled with fireflies
I remember you and I
Say, it's been a long long time
And I've been sitting by the Ohio
Watching the tow boats rollin' up slow
Thinkin' of the places we used to go
You've been on my mind
Rain across the bottom land
broken stones from an old mill dam
West wind blowin' in the dawnin' day
Enough to blow the blues my way
And I've been sitting by the Ohio
Watching the tow boats rollin' up slow
Thinkin' of the places we used to go
You've been on my mind
Rusty rails, an old river town
Whistle blowin' New Orleans bound
Cornfields waitin' for the plow
All the things I can't tell you now
And I've been sitting by the Ohio
Watching the tow boats rollin' up slow
Thinkin' of the places we used to go
You've been on my mind
Indiana country roads,
Winter's sky so deep and cold
New moon's arms, cradle the old
Come home songs on the radio
And I've been sitting by the Ohio
Watching the tow boats rollin' up slow
Thinkin' of the places we used to go
You've been on my mind
