Emmylou Harris - Goin' Back To Harlan Lyrics
There where no cuckoos, no sycamores
We played about the forest floor
Underneath the silver maples, the balsams and the sky
We popped the heads off dandelions
Assuming roles from nursery rhymes
And grew up by and by, and grew up by and by
Frail my heart apart
And play me a little shady grove
Ring the bells of rhymney
Till they ring inside my head forever
Bounce the bow, rock the gallows
For the hangman's reel
And wake the devil from his dream
I'm going back to Harlan
I'm going back to Harlan
And if you were Willie Moore
And I was Barbara Allen
Or Fair Ellen all sad at the cabin door
A-weepin' and a-pinin', for love
A-weepin' and a-pinin', for love

Emmylou Harris Goin' Back To Harlan Comments
The defining album of Emmylou Harris' storied career. A masterpiece.
absolutely one of my favorite songs by her
The Original Kate & Anna McGarrigle version is great too. Also they sang this song together with Emmylou for Transatlantic Sessions, season 1.
GREATEST SONG I HAVE HEARD, IN QUITE SOME TIME,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see one person doesn't like this song. What is there not to like?
Great album, definitely, and this is just about my favorite song from it -- although choosing a favorite is difficult, because all the songs are outstanding! :)
This whole album is truly one of the greats. Thanks.
This is really good..the whole album..
