Go Slow Songtext
von Ethan Johns

There once was a boy from the lowlands
Thomas the Younger, his name
Born of the summer rain
The bark of the apple tree would scuff up his knees
He laid cradled in its branches 'til dark
Waiting for the sound of his heart
Go slow, Thomas the Younger
Born of the summer rain
With horse and with cart
He brought in the harvest
The autumn, he idled away
His time grew short as the days
Go slow, Thomas the Younger Born of the summer rain
His brother, James Younger
A few years the older
A good heart but a dark turn of mind
Had been goin' down for some length of time
Go slow, Thomas the Younger
Born of the summer rain
Restlessly yearning, Tom started his journey
Though he was barely a man
By winter he reached the new land
Go slow, Thomas the Younger
Born of the summer rain
