Why are the rain clouds coming and pouring down on me?
G G/F# Em C
And why can't the north wind turn and blow the other way?
G G/F# Em
And where has the sunshine gone? Oh, I can barely see
Am C Am G C
This northern rain is falling, and home is calling me
G G/F# Em C
Sun in a southern sky is all I need to see
G G/F# Em C
Just watching a small bird fly, above the fields and me
G G/F# Em
Walking a dusty road and there's nothing 'round the bend
Am C Am G
Except for golden tones of going home again
G G/F# Em C
Muddy old river flowing 'neath a fallen tree
G G/F# Em C
And sunflower garden growing twice as tall as me
G G/F# Em
Sister and father hear me, what I've learned today
Am C Am G
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
G G/F# Em C
And on a starry old summer evening, humming warm and sweet
G G/F# Em C
I hit the road believing, I was bound to leave
G G/F# Em
And it took a New England sky to teach me how to say
Am C Am G
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
Am C Am G G/F#Em
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
Am C Am G D G
This ain't no northern song and I've been too long away
