Bluegrass State Of Mind

I was lonesome for my darling
So I went walking through the willows and the pines
I sang sweet songs all the day long
Like I did when I was hers and she was mine

Then I set down beside the river
Til’ the sun refused to shine
Then I let that moonlight wash over me
In a bluegrass state of mind

It was autumn when she left me
And I recall the rain was gently falling down
There were gray skies Lord how I cried
When we prayed and gave her body to the ground

Then I set down beside the river
Til’ the sun refused to shine
Then I let that moonlight wash over me
In a bluegrass state of mind

Deep dark sorrow that haunts my memory
They say will slowly fade as years go by
But I’ll remember that late September
When she met the good Lord up on high

Then I set down beside the river
Til’ the sun refused to shine
Then I let that moonlight wash over me
In a bluegrass state of mind

Then I set down beside the river
Til’ the sun refused to shine
Then I let that moonlight wash over me
In a bluegrass state of mind
