lyrics

I got no love for that southern town
took my husband and took my crown
broke my windows, and broke my doors
Atlanta left my home in pieces on the floor

He was sneaking with a college girl
all baby fat face and chestnut curls
looking for somone to call nicknames
and that ring on his finger; just something to rearange

Atlanta, Atlanta

She had that baby in the summertime
after something like that there's no denying
I hung her baby's name on my family tree
then I hid it away where my own children couldn't see

Atlanta. Atlanta
Oh Atlanta, what am I supposed to say?
When California's not far enough to to keep Atlanta away

We had two daughters and we had two sons.
I never told them about that other one
secrets have a way of sneaking outside, and that one stung me twice, because I tried to hide

Atlanta. Atlanta
Oh Atlanta, what am I supposed to say?
When California's not far enough to to keep Atlanta away

Jes Raymond & The Blackberry Bushes Seattle, Washington

The Appalachian Mountains are the meeting place of the fiddle and the banjo, and musical culture permeates the entire length of the Mississippi River. The Blackberry Bushes are rooted in the rainy bottom of the Puget Sound, but their work is infused with the essence of the homes they wandered West from.
They have a playful and resonant sound with both twang and sophistication.
