[N] _ _ _ _ One of the special things [F] about tonight is carrying on the circle tradition in a family way and tonight [D] these two people coming up my son
And Jeff's son [Cm] that's Jamie and Jonathan [D] and they're gonna come up and do a song written by Gary Scruggs the [N] lowlands. _ _

_ I'm headed for the [A] _ _
lowlands
Won't you please direct my [E] way? _
_ _ Train is leaving
_ [B]
Shortly, there's no time [E] for delay
_ _ _ _ _ She told me she'd be _ [A] waiting I'm not so sure she [E] is I _
Heard that there's [B] another man who claims that she [E] is his _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Lowlands were my [B] home
When I was [E] but a [C#m] child _ _ _ _ _ _ _
They [E] will be [B] my death _
when I passed [C#m] my time I _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] remember [A] on summer days _ _
The clouds began [E] to build _
We _ gathered the [B] cattle
Chats scattered across the [C#m] field _ _
_ _ _ _ It [E] started to [A] rain and continued several [E] days
_ _ the river _
_ [B] _ overflowed
And the crops all went [C#m] to waste _ _ _ _ _
_ No, man's with my [B] home _
When I [E] was but a [C#m] child _ _
_ _ _ _ _ They [E] will be [B] my death when I passed [C#m] my time _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ You know that I'm [A] no
failure though my victories [E] are few
_ I'm trying [B] my best
But there's too [E] much here [C#m] to do _ _ _ _ _
That girl I [A] once told me made her feel [E] secure _
It's hard to think [B] I've been replaced but nothing [C#m] does do _
_ No, man's with [B] my home _
When I was but a [C#m] child _
_ They will be [B] my death
When I passed [C#m] my time _
