Doyle Lawson - Oak Valley Girl Lyrics

Oak Valley Girl
(Capo at the 3rd fret)
D A7 D
Thought I saw you but your not around
Bm E7 A7
I must have been dreamin’ again
G D F# Bm
I miss you sometimes, so much that my mind
E7 A7
Goes back to where our love began
D A 7 D
I remenber the first time we met
Bm E7 A7
You were wearin’ that white cotton dress
G D F# Bm
It was under that oak tree were your eyes smiled at me
G D A7 D D7
Oh Darlin’ I’ll never forget

(Chorus)
D7 G Bb A7 D
Cause I still dream of you in my arms
G A7 D D7
Your the first love I had in this world
G Bb A7 D
And I’ll never know love again
D G A7 D D7
Like the love of my Oak Valley Girl

D A7 D
It ‘s the small things that come to my mind
Bm E7 A7
Like the flowers you picked in the spring
G D F# Bm
How you’d weave them together to wear on our fingers
E7 A7
and said darlin’ this is our wedding rings
D A 7 D
If I could turn back the pages of time
Bm E7 A7
to where I left the valley that day
G D F# Bm
This time I’d know better, I’d hold you forever
G D A7 D D7
And never go driftin’ away

Chorus
G Bb A7 D
And I’ll never know love again
D G A7 Bm D
Like the love of my Oak Valley Girl
