Ginseng Sullivan Misc. Country and Western
[D]About three miles from the Batelle yard
From the reverse curve on [G]down
Not far south of the [D]town depot
[G]Sullivan's shack was [Bm]found
[A]Back on the higher [D]ground.
[D]You could see him every day
Just walking down the [G]line
With his old brown sack a[D]cross his back
And his [G]long hair down be[Bm]hind
[A]Speaking his worried [D]mind.
cho: It's a [D]long way to the delta
From the [G]North Georgia hills
A tote sack full of [D]ginseng
Won't pay no travelling [G]bil[G7]ls
Now, [C]I'm too old to [D]ride the rails
Or [Em]thumb the road [A]alone
So I [D]guess I'll never [G]make it back to [D]home
[D]My muddy water [G]Mississippi [A]delta [D]home.
[D]The winters here, they get too cold
The damp it makes me [G]ill
Can't dig no roots in the [D]mountain side
With the [G]ground froze hard and [Bm]still
Gotta [A]stay at the foot of the [D]hill.
[D]But next summer, things turn right
The companies will pay [G]high
I'll make enough money to [D]pay my bills
[G]Bid these mountains good[Bm]bye
[A]Then he said with a [D]sigh:
(chorus)
See ya

"And if one more person says to me, they can't stand the "twang," I think
I just might gingerly poke 'em in the eye. This is not like eating okra."
