From the recording Where The Myrtle Doth Entwine
Imagine what the world once looked like before the celebration of the greed of man marred the land. With its walking bass & driving rhythm, lonesome harmonica, authentic guitar, hillbilly banjo, haunting harmonies & Jonny’s dusty desert-billy vocals, Native Ground tributes classic Outlaw Country, Folk & Americana.
Lyrics
Clouds form in an endless sky
I try to wrap my mind around.
Oh, once, all raindrops poured upon
A naked, native ground.
Naked ground.
Oh, native ground.
I wish I could see this land,
Oh, Earth, untouched by greedy hands.
I wish I could see this land
Before it was marred by man.
I think there would be buffalo
Because I know they were here first,
And the rivers, they would freely flow
So no one would know thirst.
Naked ground.
Oh, native ground.
I wish I could see this land,
Oh, Earth, untouched by greedy hands.
I wish I could see this land
Before it was marred by man.
I wish I could see this land,
Oh, Earth, untouched by greedy hands.
I wish I could see this land
Before it was marred by man.
Naked ground.
Oh, native ground.
Naked ground.
Oh, native ground.
