About three mile from the Battell yard on the reverse curve [Ab] on down _
Not far south [Eb] of the town _ [Ab] deposed Sullivan shack [Cm] was found _
[Bb] back on the high [Eb] ground _ _
_ _ _ _ You could see him every day walking down [Ab] the line
_ With his old brown sack [Eb] across his back [Ab] and his long hair [Cm] down behind
_ _ [Bb] Speaking his [Eb] word me _ _ _ _ _ _
It's a long way to the Delta _ [Ab] from the North Georgia
Hill _ and a tow sack full [Eb] of _ ginseng won't pay no traveling [Ab] bills _ _
_ _ _ [Db] And I'm too [Eb] old to ride the rails [Fm] upon the road [Bb] alone
_ [Eb] Well, I guess I'll [Ab] never make it back [Eb] to home _ _
_ _ My muddy water Mississippi Delta [Eb] home
_ _ Pick one time _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well winters here they get too cold the damp it makes [Ab] me ill
You can't dig no roots [Eb] in the mountainside [Ab] with the ground froze [Cm] hard and still [Bb] you gotta stay at the foot of [Eb] the hill _
_ _ _ _ But next summer things turn right the companies will [Ab] pay high
_ I'll make enough money [Eb] to pay my [Ab] bills and bid these mountains.
[Cm] Goodbye
_ _ [Bb] Then he said with a sigh _ _ _ _
It's a long way to the Delta [Ab] from the North Georgia
_ Hills and a tow sack full [Eb] of _ ginseng won't pay no traveling [Ab] _ bill _
_ _ _ [Db] And I'm too [Eb] old to ride the rails [F] upon the road [Bb] alone
_ Well, I guess I'll never [Ab] make it back [Eb] home _ _
_ _ My muddy water Mississippi Delta [Eb] home _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ It's a long way to the Delta _ from the [Ab] North Georgia Hills
_ And a tow sack full [Eb] of ginseng won't pay no traveling [Ab] _ bill _ _ _ _
[Db] And I'm too [Eb] old to ride the rails [Fm] upon the road [Bb] alone _
[Eb] Well, I guess I'll never [Ab] make it back home
_ _ _ _ My muddy [Ab] water Mississippi [Eb] Delta home _
