Girl
Franck Pourcel and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you go to the city
The buildings are tall
And the folks got no pity
There'll be no one there you
Know just to say hello little town gal
Folks don't care if you're blue or unhappy
Your maw and your pappy!
You'll be wearing out your shoes
With a case of blues little town gal
And when you wake up in the morning
How you'll miss the sights that
Used to greet your eyes
Oh, of the country you were born in
You'll miss those southern sunny skies
You're just a little town gal
Don't you go to the city
Stay home with your folks
And you'll be sitting mighty pretty
So listen here to me and be proud to be
A little town gal
The song "Girl" is a cautionary tale about leaving the countryside and heading towards the city. The singer warns a young girl, who is from a small town, not to be enticed by the city life. He says that the city folks are ruthless and nobody cares about others' feelings, unlike the small town where everyone knows each other. In the city, the young girl will be all alone and miss her family.
The lyrics talk about how the girl will struggle to fit in the new place and miss the sunny skies and familiar surroundings of her hometown. The song highlights that the charms and comforts of small-town living outweigh the excitement and busy life of the city, which can leave one feeling isolated and blue. The song's advice is to stay back home and enjoy the simple life with her folks, where she will always have someone to say hello to and share her cares.
Line by Line Meaning
You're just a little town gal
You are a girl who grew up in a small town
Don't you go to the city
It is not a good idea for you to move to the big city
The buildings are tall
The structures in the city are very high
And the folks got no pity
The people who live there do not have sympathy for others
There'll be no one there you know just to say hello little town gal
You will not find anyone you know to greet you in the big city
Folks don't care if you're blue or unhappy
People in the city do not care about your feelings or if you are sad
That's when you'll miss
That is the time you will long for
Your maw and your pappy!
Your mother and father, who you left behind
You'll be wearing out your shoes
You will walk a lot and quickly wear out your footwear
With a case of blues little town gal
You will feel sad and lonely, little town girl
And when you wake up in the morning
When you open your eyes each day
How you'll miss the sights that
You will feel nostalgic for the things you used to see
Used to greet your eyes
That you once saw every day
Oh, of the country you were born in
You will long for the place where you were born
You'll miss those southern sunny skies
You will miss the bright, warm weather of your hometown
Stay home with your folks
Remain in your small town and live with your family
And you'll be sitting mighty pretty
You will be very happy and comfortable if you stay in your hometown
So listen here to me and be proud to be
Pay attention to my advice and feel proud of who you are
A little town gal
A girl from a small town
