Lake Fork Land

Valley Park, Mo
Banjo tuned E, Capo 1 , Key of: A
A D
Are things still the same, at Lake Fork Land?
E
Does the North Fork still flood in the Spring?
A D
Do the sweet williams still wave their bright blue bands?
E7 A
I'll be back, soon as I finish my fling
Does the wild parsnip still line the long fence rows?
Does Bobby Westen's donkey still kick the bucket and howl?
Are the multifloral-rose thickets still growing wild?
Can you still hear those country sounds, I heard as a child?
Do the bridge boards still rattle
When the sparse traffic goes by
Does the sunset show off the cattle
In the red-pink streaked western sky
Oh, I miss the quiet palaver
Of the old folks rocking on the porch
Thoughts and memories go on forever
As the dark night-time snuffs out the sun's torch
Are things still the same in Lake Fork Land?
I aim to get back there, as soon as I can
