The Gardener - Tallest Man on Earth

Red Dirt Girl - Emmylou Harris

It's your wedding day, rambler
Early January St. Paul
Flying over frozen lakes and rivers
Some things don't change at all

It's been long and hard years that we come from 
Miles twist all in between
From the mountains outside of Managua 
To old Cairo's loneliest streets

Made it all the way down to the Blue Ridge 
From a small PA town called Dubois
Those Appalachian mountains 
Unleashed a fountain 
Whose waters run ever
Rejoice

California's a ways from Virginia
We both know that she's in our hearts
But who the hell knows?
Cross my fingers and toes
This country won't keep us apart

But today is your wedding day, rambler
Today you both answer a call
You'll each make your vows in the winter
On a frozen sunny day in St. Paul

You'll each make your vows in the winter
On this frozen sunny day in St. Paul

Frozen Sunny Day in St. Paul - Original Tune

When she was a young girl in old Caroline 
In a house with the brightest of blues 
She wore a faded old dress with a white rose design 
And bright pair of ruby red shoes 

She'd listen, she'd tell and she'd give us boys hell 
If ever we strayed from what's right 
She was tough but sincere, never showed any fear 
She never backed down from a fight 

She's got a strong constitution and steel in her spine 
With a spirit more precious than jewels 
She's got a strong constitution, shes made up her mind 
She won't take no shit from a fool 

She grew up strong never doing much wrong 
Till her whole world went up into flames 
When her daddy walked out she spun into doubt 
She cursed when she cried out your name 

Put it up on a shelf 
She’s so hard on herself 
She wandered away far from home 
And it still tears me up when I drink from that cup 
To think of her out there so lost and alone 

And her strong constitution 
That put steel in her spine with a spirit more precious than jewels 
She started second guessing 
And it fucked with her mind 
She started to break her own rules 

Till one day with grace 
Light returned to her face 
I caught it when she smiled at me 
With truth and with love 
And with help from above 
She's the woman she always meant to be 
Stronghearted and brave 
With a faith that could save 
Even such wretches as we 

She's got a strong constitution and steel in her spine 
With a spirit more precious than jewels 
She's got a strong constitution, shes made up her mind 
She won't take no shit from a fool
