Greenwood, Mississippi Lyrics

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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
