THE FIELDS HAVE TURNED BROWN - Carter Stanley 1. I left my old home to ramble this country My mother and dad said: Son, don't go wrong, Remember that God will always watch o'er you And we will be waiting for you here at home (Chorus: Son don't go astray - was what that they told me - Remember that love for Got can be found But now they're both gone this letter just told me For years they've been dead, the fields have turned brown 2. For many long years this world I have traveled No thoughts of the days when I would return Now as I go home and find no one waiting The price I have paid to live and to learn Chorus: THE COUNTRY GENTLEMEN - Sing Live From The Stage Of The Roanoke Bluegrass Festival
