Where Tall Firs Grow - Banjo - Original Folk Style Song

Where Tall Firs Grow or Where The Tall Firs Grow is a song I wrote awhile back. I`m hoping it will be considered a Pacific Northwest Folk Song someday. The natural wonders and mild marine climate is what I really like about it and why I stay. Song discribes the Douglas Fir trees, rivers, lakes, mountains, blackberry`s, rain, etc. It`s a happy song, one of the few that I have written. I wrote it on guitar. This is a banjo version. There`s a long intro which you can skip. The song starts at 1:29.

Where Tall Firs Grow
Written and performed by
Dan D. Dirges

There`s rivers and lakes, mountains and streams
It`s the closest place to heaven that I`ve seen
I like to get lost in the deep forest green
Out where the tall firs grow

See the old river winding thru the pines
Cutting out a path down the mountain side
It will find it`s way home given time
Out where the tall firs grow
Way out where the tall firs grow

Blackberry`s growing wild everywhere
Time passes slow but nobody cares
We only got a little but a lot to share
Out where the tall firs grow

It rains all day and it rains all night
I ain`t seen the sun in three weeks time
I`m pickin and singin and drinking my wine
Out where the tall firs grow
Way out where the tall firs grow

I got a gal she`s firm and plump
56 inches around the rump
She rustles up the vittles like a son of a gun
Out where the tall firs grow

When winter time comes it gets pretty cold
A whole lot of rain and a whole lot of snow
Chills the flesh down to the bone
Out where the tall firs grow
Way out where the tall firs grow

Got just enough to get by
I`ll live out here till the day I die
Come bury me when it comes my time
Out where the tall firs grow

See the old river winding thru the pines
Cutting out a path down the mountain side
It will find it`s way home given time
Out where the tall firs grow
Way out where the tall firs grow
