Folk Singer Lyrics - Jim Ed Brown

He used to sing his song to his Sara Jane the folk singer 

His songs filled with love made the mountains ring the folk singer 

At first Sara Jane was to be his bride but as his fame grew she was pushed aside 

Sweet mountain girl would say goodbye to the folk singer 

He let his hair grow long and he dressed in style the folk singer 

His voice was pure and the fans went wild for the folk singer 

He said Sara Jane was much too plain so he left her alone as he gained more fame 

But sorrow will come like the mountain rain to the folk singer 

[ harmonica ] 

Lavished in glory fortune at his feet the folk singer 

Awoke one morning and he couldn't speak the folk singer 

The doctors said his singing days were through thousands wept Sara Jane did too 

He couldn't sing now his friends were few the folk singer 

Sick at heart in the mountains again the folk singer 

Now Sara Jane didn't look so plain to the folk singer 

Ah the power of love can do strange things cause love has made him sing again 

Only now he sings for his Sara Jane the folk singer 

And once again the mountains ring for this folk singer oh the folk singer
