Tall Trees in Georgia Lyrics
Tall trees in Georgia they grow so high they shade me so
And sadly walking through the thicket I go
The sweetest love I ever had I left aside
Because I did not want to be any man's bride
But now I'm older and married I would be
I found my sweetheart but he would not marry me
When I was younger the boys all came around
But now I'm older and they've all settled down
Control your mind my girl and give your heart to one
For if you love all men you'll be surely left with none
Tall trees in Georgia they grow so high they shade me so
And sadly walking through the thicket I go
And sadly walking through the thicket I go
Because I did not want to be any man's bride
I found my sweetheart but he would not marry me
But now I'm older and they've all settled down
For if you love all men you'll be surely left with none
And sadly walking through the thicket I go

I think she's contrasting her own ephemeral nature with the tall trees. She has nobody, she has no children or family, she will be gone and forgotten soon. Not like the trees which have been there a long time and will be still after the singer is gone. Great song. Eva Cassidy was really something special.
