About three miles from the Batelle yard
GFrom the reverse curve on down
DNot far south of the town depot
Sullivan's shack was found
A DBack on the higher ground.
D
You could see him every day
GJust walking down the line
With his old brown sack across his back
G BmAnd his long hair down behind
A DSpeaking his worried mind.
D
cho: It's a long way to the delta
From the North Georgia hills
DA tote sack full of ginseng
G G7Won't pay no travelling bills
Now, I'm too old to ride the rails
Em AOr thumb the road alone
D G DSo I guess I'll never make it back to home
My muddy water Mississippi delta home.
The winters here, they get too cold
GThe damp it makes me ill
DCan't dig no roots in the mountain side
With the ground froze hard and still
A DGotta stay at the foot of the hill.
DBut next summer, things turn right
The companies will pay high
DI'll make enough money to pay my bills
G BmBid these mountains goodbye
Then he said with a sigh:
