About three miles from the Battelle Yard, from the reverse curve on [Ab] down, not far [Eb] south
from the town depot, Sullivan Shack is [Gm] found, [Bb] back on the higher [Eb] ground.
You could see him every day, just a-walkin' down [Ab] the line, with a brown-toed [Eb] sack across
his back and his long hair down [Bb] behind.
Speaking this [Eb] word, mine, it's a long way to the Delta, [Ab] from the north Georgia hills,
and a toed sack [Eb] bulging, saying, won't pay no travel [Ab] bills.
Oh, I'm too [Eb] old to ride the rail and off on the road alone, but I guess [Ab] I'll never make
it back to [Eb] home, my muddy water Mississippi Delta home.

[Gm] [Bb] [Eb]
Winter's here, they get so cold, a dampen makes me [Ab] ill, can't dig no roots on the [Eb] mountainside
when the ground's rose [Gm] hard and still, gotta [Eb] stay at the foot of the hill.
Maybe next summer things turn right, companies will pay [Ab] high, and I'll make [Eb] enough money
to pay these bills and bid these mountains [Gm] goodbye, [Bb] then he [Eb] said with a sigh, it's a
long way to the Delta, [Ab] from the north Georgia hills, and a toed sack [Eb] bulging, saying, won't
pay no travel bills.
[Ab] [Db] Oh, I'm too [Eb] old to ride the [Ab] rail and off on the [Bb] road alone, [Eb] but I guess I'll [Ab] never make
it [Eb] back to home, my muddy water Mississippi Delta home.
