[00:00.00]Mountain Fern - Laura Cantrell
[00:16.88]She left her home
[00:18.20]On the mountain as a young girl
[00:23.53]And she traveled
[00:25.24]And rambled all through the wide world
[00:30.35]And the world was Kentucky
[00:33.22]And then Tennessee
[00:36.90]West Virginia to Texas
[00:39.77]Everything in between
[00:43.66]And her name would be different
[00:46.40]From place to place
[00:48.85]And her heart might get heavy sometimes
[00:54.17]With a worn prayer book
[00:56.33]In her guitar case
[00:59.50]In a boarding house room
[01:02.31]Her banjo she plays
[01:04.31]And the wind blows the mountain fern
[01:09.88]She sways and bends in the breeze
[01:16.12]And our Dixie darlin' is callin' him
[01:21.83]She's fallin' right down to her knees
[01:29.74]Do you know who to please
[01:36.86]Road it got dusty hot
[01:39.96]Long and hard
[01:42.74]Travelin' night noon
[01:43.94]And mornin' in an old Packard car
[01:49.39]And though she found fame
[01:51.02]And fortune on the radio waves
[01:56.02]Well it never came easy
[01:58.76]And she longed to be saved
[02:02.66]Those hills in Knoxville with their fine white mist
[02:08.24]Settled over everything
[02:13.13]Put a chill in her heart like the devil's kiss
[02:18.50]In the morning light she turns to the King
[02:23.25]And the wind blows the mountain fern
[02:28.94]She sways and bends in the breeze
[02:35.17]And our Dixie darlin' is callin' him
[02:40.73]She's fallin' right down to her knees
[02:48.35]She finally knows who to please
[02:54.58]And it feels
[02:57.08]So good just to hear your voice
[03:05.90]Rising up with mine
[03:10.30]Oh that is a joyous noise
[03:15.55]And I hope someday
[03:20.43]You will understand why my song
[03:25.81]Must be sung for Him
[03:29.68]Played for Him
[03:31.79]Written for Him
[03:33.58]As they're given by Him yes
