There's Someone Awaiting for Me Songtext
von The Carter Family

All the people of today, they are going far away
To the mountains, the lakes, or the sea
There′s a little spot out west that I always loved the best
And there's someone a-waiting for me

She′ll be happy (She'll be happy)
She'll be free (She′ll be free)
When she wanders alone with me
It′ll be getting quite late
When I meet her at the gate
And there's someone a-waiting for me

Yodel-ay-ee, oh-ah-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, oh-ah-lay

There′s birds in every tree and they sing among the breeze
But there's none so happy as me
I am going out west and there I′ll do my best
To build a little home for you and me


She'll be happy (She′ll be happy)
She'll be free (She'll be free)
When she wanders alone with me
It′ll be getting quite late
When I meet her at the gate
And there′s someone a-waiting for me

Yodel-ay-ee, oh-ah-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, oh-ah-lay

Oh, the birds that fly above singing dear songs of love
O'er the meadows, the valleys so deep
Their voices so sweet that they sing me to sleep
For I know my darling will not weep

She′ll be happy (She'll be happy)
She′ll be free (She'll be free)
When she wanders alone with me
It′ll be getting quite late
When I meet her at the gate
And there's someone a-waiting for me

Yodel-ay-ee, oh-ah-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, oh-ah-lay
