Yarrington Town Lyrics

(Mickie Merkens)

I packed up my suitcase

Pulled down my old bedroll

And I started to wander

Far from my home

And the time it passed quickly

And the days seemed to be hours

Far from your city

And Yarrington Town

Well, I wandered through the midnights

Of sea-bordered bar lights

And I wandered through the forests

As deep as the sea

But I never got lonesome

Until I'd hear a sad song

One to remind me of Yarrington Town

Well, I followed a miner

To his home in the North woods

And he promised to love me

As long as I'd stay

And I even saw lightning

Touch a stone in the mine field

Could not touch the lightning

In Yarrington Town

So I packed up my suitcase

I pulled out my old bedroll

And I started to wander

On back to my home

And the time it passed slowly

And the days seemed to be years

Far from your city

And Yarrington Town

I'm going home to your city

And Yarrington Town
