Time Enough

She grew up in the sweet trees........tall and straight as a pine
The first boy she ever done kissed.......was a son a south caroline
Momma's out in the backyard......pullin' shirts off the line
Caught em clutchin' in the tall grass.....said your daddy's gonna skin that hide
Take it easy baby
All this growin' up
Take it easy baby
There'll be time enough....
For love
He moved up to virginia.....took a job in the mines
Promised he'd come back for her.....but the bottle became his bride
Momma's words of comfort .......she said the day she died
Someday you'll find true love......standin' right there by your side
Take it easy baby
There's no need to rush
Take it easy baby
There'll be time enough...
For love
(Instrumental break)
She got married in the springtime.......he was tall and straight as a pine
The first gift he gave to her.......was a son of south caroline
Sippin tea on the front porch........sweet baby on her knee
Said i'm gonna sing a song for you.........my momma sang to me
Take it easy baby
All this growin up
Take it easy baby
You gotta walk before you run
Take it easy baby
There's no need to rush
Take it easy baby..
There'll be time enough...
For love
