Charlie Daniels Band, The - Franklin Limestone Lyrics
Franklin Limestone, always been my home
I was born in Nashville, a place I call my own
Where the mountains, and the rivers, and the valleys
We were married, you and me
Like a possum in the wood
So please forgive me if I forget to tell you
What you mean to me
Hard cold winter took away my mother
Papa got the fever, Lord he said he couldn't leave her
You carried me through bad times, through the worst times
You were my driving wheel
We were both so happy just being together
So please forgive me if I forget to tell you
What you mean to me
Workin in a coal mine, slaving in the day time
Lookin to the Good Lord for any peace of mind
The feeling if you left me on that hillside
Would break this heart of mine
We were both so happy just being together
Like a possum in the wood
So please forgive me if I forget to tell you
Lord, what you mean to me

Charlie Daniels Band, The Franklin Limestone Comments
Praying we can get tickets to Danville. I hope CDB keeps it classic at the show. Much love from rougemont nc. Young bacca farmer loves ya down here ole buddy
smiling ear to ear!
That's a very young Charlie Hayward on bass.. The only 1 still with him.
God bless you. You've been holding out.One of my hundreds of favorites thank you
I had the privilege of seeing CDB on their Saddle Tramp tour in Tucson, and it was an awesome show that I will never forget. Yeah I will have to say that Tramp was my favorite LP from Charlie, and that says a lot because there are so many good ones.
May God Bless Charlie Daniels and America. I saw C D B with the Marshall Tucker Band what ever left of them,but they still kicked ass.
thank you
Thanks for posting this classic song! Charlie and Tommy knew how to play so that they complimented each other while on stage. What makes this song so special is two fold. First, Tommy wrote Franklin Limestone and second, the fast paced solo picking performed by these guys. They pass it back and forth without skipping a beat. Pure genius and a pleasure to listen too. That era 1979-80 was a special time to see this band and I wish you all could have witnesses this one live. Special times I will not forget.
This is unbelievable. I'm a huge CDB fan and this is gold. Thanks for posting!
