O' how the birds sing,
And sweeten the dream,
They give me reason to crack a smile all the time
'Cause they make me think of my Laura Ligh Leigh...
Laura Ligh Leigh.

O' how the river winds and the fish go swimming
Through the perpetuation of everyday life.
Gentle river, crisp ripples of sound bring music to my ears
As I sit here along the bank
Throwing bread crumbs as I watch her dance to nature,
My Laura Ligh Leigh.

Laura Ligh Leigh,
My Laura Ligh Leigh,
Sweetest lil' gal ever to set foot in Tennessee.
I've known her many, many years,
Since nearly the day I could recollect.
I've never known a moment you when you didn't make me smile,
Something so wide, wider than a mile,
My sister, my gracious gift from God,
My Laura Ligh Leigh.

Look at the butterflies flutter their wings
All the live long while.
It happens at a constant, it never dies
Till the winter's chill punches the air.
Flowers bloom, and the butterflies feed,
Colors everywhere, you'd think we lived on a rainbow,
And there is Laura Ligh Leigh,
Dancing on this vast sea of plains.

Laura Ligh Leigh,
My Laura Ligh Leigh,
Sweetest lil' gal to set foot on this earth,
Most certainly in Tennessee.
Laura Ligh Leigh,
My Laura Ligh Leigh,
Her zest for life always delivers a smile,
One always more than a mile wide.
