About Dthree miles from the Batelle yard
From the reverse curve on Gdown
Not far south of the Dtown depot
GSullivan's shack was Bmfound
ABack on the higher Dground.
DYou could see him every day
Just walking down the Gline
With his old brown sack aDcross his back
And his Glong hair down beBmhind
ASpeaking his worried Dmind.
cho: It's a Dlong way to the delta
From the GNorth Georgia hills
A tote sack full of Dginseng
Won't pay no travelling GbilG7ls
Now, CI'm too old to Dride the rails
Or Emthumb the road Aalone
So I Dguess I'll never Gmake it back to Dhome
DMy muddy water GMississippi Adelta Dhome.
DThe winters here, they get too cold
The damp it makes me Gill
Can't dig no roots in the Dmountain side
With the Gground froze hard and Bmstill
Gotta Astay at the foot of the Dhill.
DBut next summer, things turn right
The companies will pay Ghigh
I'll make enough money to Dpay my bills
GBid these mountains goodBmbye
AThen he said with a Dsigh:
