[Ab]
Not too far from the battery yard on the reverse [Db] curve on down
Not too [Ab] much from the town depot
Sullivan [Bb] shack [Fm] was fun
[Ab] [Bb] back on the [Ab] High -glide
You could see
Man-made walking all [Db] down a line
Well brown [Ab] said crosses back don't head [Fm] down
[Eb] Speaking is [Ab] worried
It's
[Fm] [Cm] [Ab] a long way from the Delta
[Db] to the North
Georgia hills and a toast at
[Ab] Fuller Jim say don't pay no [Db] traveling
[Ab] [Db] I'm [Ab]
[Gb] too [Ab] old
right to raise [Bb] some [Bbm] along
[Eb]
So [Ab] I guess I'll never [Db] make it [Ab] back to home
my [Db] [Ab] Mississippi Delta

the women's feet get too cold
[Bb] Dampen [Db] makes me
Can't dig no [Ab] roots on the mountain side
grandpas are [Fm] in still
[Eb] Gotta stay at [Ab] food of you
But next summer when things turn right
Companies [Gm] will [Db] pay high
Make enough money [Ab] to pay my bill to build this mountain
[Fm] By

Then he said [Ab] with a sign
It's a long way from the Delta
