Franklin Limestone

Franklin Limestone, always been my home
 I was born in Nashville, a place I call my own
 Where the mountains, and the rivers, and the valleys
 We were married, you and me
 We were both so happy just being together
 Like a possum in the wood
 So please forgive me if I forget to tell you
 What you mean to me
 Hard cold winter took away my mother
 Papa got the fever, Lord he said he couldn't leave her
 You carried me through bad times, through the worst times
 You were my driving wheel
 We were both so happy just being together
 Like a possum in the wood
 So please forgive me if I forget to tell you
 What you mean to me
 Workin in a coal mine, slaving in the day time
 Lookin to the Good Lord for any peace of mind
 The feeling if you left me on that hillside
 Would break this heart of mine
 We were both so happy just being together
 Like a possum in the wood
 So please forgive me if I forget to tell you
 Lord, what you mean to me
