[Intro]
D D G
G D Bm F#m7
A7 D D
[Verse 1]
D G
About three miles from the batelle yard, from the first curve on down
G D Em7 F#m7(add11)
Not far south of the town depot, Sullivan's shack was found
A7(sus4) D
Back on the higher ground
[Verse 2]
D G
You could see him every day just a walking down the line
G D Em7 F#m7(add11)
With his brown old sack across his back and his long hair down behind
A7(sus4) D
Speaking his worried mind
[Chorus]
D G
It's a long way to the delta from the North Georgia hills
G D G
And a tote-sack full of ginseng won't pay no travelling bills
C D9 Em A7
And I'm too old to ride the rails and I'll thumb the road alone
D G D
But I guess I'll never make it back to home
D G A7 D
My muddy water Mississippi delta home
[Solo]
D D G
G D Bm F#m7
A7 D D
[Verse 3]
D G
The winters here, they get so cold. The damp, it makes me ill
G D Em7
Can't dig no roots on the mountain side when the ground's froze hard
F#m7(add11)
and still
A7(sus4) D
Gotta stay at the foot of the hill
[Verse 4]
D G
Maybe next summer, things'll turn right. Companies will pay high
G D Em7
And I'll make enough money to pay my bills and bid these mountains
F#m7(add11)
goodbye
A7(sus4) D
Then he said with a sigh
[Chorus]
D G
It's a long way to the delta from the North Georgia hills
G D G
And a tote-sack full of ginseng won't pay no travelling bills
C D9 Em A7
And I'm too old to ride the rails and I'll thumb the road alone
D G D
But I guess I'll never make it back to home
D G A7 D
My muddy water Mississippi delta home
[Solo]
D D G
G D Bm F#m7
A7 D D
[Chorus]
D G
It's a long way to the delta from the North Georgia hills
G D G
And a tote-sack full of ginseng won't pay no travelling bills
C D9 Em A7
And I'm too old to ride the rails and I'll thumb the road alone
D G D
But I guess I'll never make it back to home
D G A7 D
My muddy water Mississippi delta home
[Outro]
D G A7 D
My muddy water Mississippi delta home
D G A7 D
My muddy water Mississippi delta home
