lyrics

give me the finest roads this side of heaven
so i can find my way home just as soon as i can
a steady wind at my back, a little whiskey in my hand
oh this mountain has always been kind
to me and my sweet adeline

it was the winter of 39, when all hell froze over
in the soup line just waiting for deaths cold
so with no where else to go we packed our bags for the coast
we went looking for a little sunshine
arm and arm with my sweet adeline

a mountain side was enough for our home
just a cabin in the woods friends
it wasnt nothing to boast and we kept to our own
we took our food off of the land, i took my wife by the hand
and we would wander through the cool mountain pines
oh i love you my sweet adeline

then one day the sheriff came around
said you cant live for free here but aint no bankers from town
ever going to take away our home
so from the porch where she stood
she laid that sheriff down for good
and i held here said please girl dont you cry
so by the morning I was on the state line

send me a letter by mail
to the Reno county jail
where i am doing 10 years hard time
I miss you my sweet adeline
