《Ginseng Sullivan(Album)》歌词

[00:00:25] About three miles from the Batelle yard

[00:00:27] From the reverse curve on down

[00:00:28] Not far south of the town depot

[00:00:30] Sullivan's shack was found

[00:00:32] Back on the higher ground

[00:00:35] You could see him every day

[00:00:37] Just walking down the line

[00:00:39] With his old brown sack across his back

[00:00:41] And his long hair down behind

[00:00:43] Speaking his worried mind

[00:00:46] It's a long way to the delta

[00:00:48] From the North Georgia hills

[00:00:50] A tote sack full of ginseng

[00:00:52] Won't pay no travelling bills

[00:00:55] Now I'm too old to ride the rails

[00:00:57] Or thumb the road alone

[00:00:59] So I guess I'll never make it back to home

[00:01:02] My muddy water Mississippi delta home

[00:01:30] The winters here they get too cold

[00:01:32] The damp it makes me ill

[00:01:34] Can't dig no roots in the mountain side

[00:01:35] With the ground froze hard and still

[00:01:38] Gotta stay at the foot of the hill

[00:01:41] But next summer things turn right

[00:01:42] The companies will pay high

[00:01:44] I'll make enough money to pay my bills

[00:01:46] Bid these mountains goodbye

[00:01:48] Then he said with a sigh

[00:01:51] It's a long way to the delta

[00:01:52] From the North Georgia hills

[00:01:54] A tote sack full of ginseng

[00:01:56] Won't pay no travelling bills

[00:02:00] Now I'm too old to ride the rails

[00:02:02] Or thumb the road alone

[00:02:04] So I guess I'll never make it back to home

[00:02:08] My muddy water Mississippi delta home

[00:02:55] It's a long way to the delta

[00:02:55] From the North Georgia hills

[00:02:57] A tote sack full of ginseng

[00:02:59] Won't pay no travelling bills

[00:03:04] Now I'm too old to ride the rails

[00:03:05] Or thumb the road alone

[00:03:07] So I guess I'll never make it back to home

[00:03:11] My muddy water Mississippi delta home

[00:03:14] My muddy water Mississippi delta home
