Lyrics
Chorus:
I’d like to go away, I’d leave today
From this town where I was born
The cattle lowin’, the rooster crowin’
Wakes me early every morn
And the village beaux are oh, so slow
And the crowd around the grocery store
The oldest riddles they repeat
“Why does a chicken cross the street?”
I’d like to leave the village
For a place where I never could be bored
Where there is no celebration
Every time your neighbor buys a Ford
I’d like to go away, I’d leave today
For the city’s merry whirl
Well, I swan, I must be getting on
I wasn’t meant to be a small town girl
