about

A TRUE ACHING HEART / CECI'S JIG
Marco Zanzi

lyrics

Green is the colour of the West rolling hills
Laying so nicely toward the high peaks
White are the clouds in the blue sky so far
Red is the colour of a true aching heart

Mike worked on the land, oh handsome was he
Used to strum his old guitar and sang to be free
His home place was a village along the West Piedmont Route
He wore Cowboy shirts Stetson hats and leather boots

Mike was still looking for a nice girl to love
In this matter was fragile putting up a brave front
Every night he would pray to the Lord up above
“God help me to find my true pretty dove”

Green is the colour of the West rolling hills
Laying so nicely toward the high peaks
White are the clouds in the blue sky so far
Red is the colour of a true aching heart

Mary was tiny raven hair and green eyes
She was just a dream overflows your desires
When she said “Mike I love you” his heart became so light
Oh, the moon shone so bright with the stars on that night

It suddenly happened in a cold wintry night
He came home to find her with a fever so high
No doctors no prayers nor Mike’s desperate cry
Could change the cruel fate that left Mike crying “why”?

Green is the colour of the West rolling hills
Laying so nicely toward the high peaks
White are the clouds in the blue sky so far
Red is the colour of a true aching heart

Green is the colour of the West rolling hills
Laying so nicely toward the high peaks
White are the clouds in the blue sky so far
Red is the colour of a true aching heart
