Greenwood, Mississippi

Well I've been on the road

for a long time

met a lot of women

had to leave them all behind

'cause I want to go back

to the land I love

where Magnolia smells sweet

and white cotton is warm

Take me on back

Back to the country

Take me on down, down

Greenwood Mississippi

Old farmer John

he lives down the road

works in the fields

carryin' a heavy load

He don't have to worry

'bout a thing

'cause evryday now

you can hear him sing

Take me on back

Back to the country

Take me on down, down

Greenwood Mississippi
