Caney Fork River

[00:11.83] It's a long, long way from the hills of Carolina
[00:14.44] To the arms of my darling in Jackson, Tennessee
[00:19.29] And it's a hard, hard way to try to make a living
[00:23.46] But it's the quickest way to get ahead, both of us agree
[00:29.83] And it's been twenty-seven weeks, but it seems more like forever
[00:33.88] Still the pay was good and worth the sacrifice
[00:38.52] The work is finally over and I'm getting close to Jackson
[00:42.86] I can't wait to see her and I know she'll be surprised
[00:46.60] How many times must I cross that old Caney Fork River
[00:50.78] Traveling through the state of Tennessee?
[00:55.14] How many times must I cross that old Caney Fork River
[00:59.26] 'til I know that I'm home free, until I know that I am home free?
[01:25.67] Well I never dreamed I'd find her in the arms of another
[01:29.51] She didn't know I was coming home tonight
[01:33.90] And now the sheriff is searching for the owner of a shotgun
[01:38.44] Who left two lovers frigid in the early morning light
[01:42.33] How many times must I cross that old Caney Fork River
[01:46.58] Traveling through the state of Tennessee?
[01:51.23] How many times must I cross that old Caney Fork River
[01:55.14] 'til I know that I'm home free, until I know that I am home free?
[02:19.54] How many times must I cross that old Caney Fork River
[02:23.54] Traveling through the state of Tennessee?
[02:27.70] How many times must I cross that old Caney Fork River
[02:31.99] 'til I know that I'm home free, until I know that I am home free?
[02:41.09] Home free
