Music: Roy Williams/Mariah Hawley
Martha came from off the farm,
Ran right up, jumped in my arms,
I said you're coming home with me today,
Martha you're the sweetest girl,
An angel sent down to this world,
I love you more than words could ever say,
Everyday's a new beginning,
Life is just a game you're winning,
Everytime you look, an open door,
So run right out and chase the sunlight,
Nothing left to do but do right,
Martha you're the one my heart beats for,
Martha my darlin, your name I keep calling,
Heartache's forgotten when you lie with me,
Down in the holler, in mansion or squalor,
Martha where you are is where I'll be,
Evening comes, lay your head down,
Give your weary legs a rest now,
Moon is high, but darlin' not for long,
I will write a song about you,
How I could not live without you,
Martha I will meet you at the dawn,
Martha my darlin, your name I keep calling,
Heartache's forgotten when you lie with me,
Down in the holler, in mansion or squalor,
Martha where you are is where I'll be,
Martha my darlin, your name I keep calling,
Heartache's forgotten when you lie with me,
Down in the holler, in mansion or squalor,
Martha where you are is where I'll be,
Martha where you are is where I'll be.
