Ginseng Sullivan

(Norman Blake)

D

About three miles from the Batelle yard

                          G

From the reverse curve on down

                     D

Not far south of the town depot

G                    Bm

Sullivan's shack was found

A                  D

Back on the higher ground.

D

You could see him every day

                      G

Just walking down the line

                         D

With his old brown sack across his back

        G                Bm

And his long hair down behind

A                    D

Speaking his worried mind.

            D

cho: It's a long way to the delta

              G

     From the North Georgia hills

                         D

     A tote sack full of ginseng

                             G  G7

     Won't pay no travelling bills

          C              D

     Now, I'm too old to ride the rails

        Em             A

     Or thumb the road alone

          D                G               D

     So I guess I'll never make it back to home

     D              G           A     D

     My muddy water Mississippi delta home.

D

The winters here, they get too cold

                     G

The damp it makes me ill

                          D

Can't dig no roots in the mountain side

         G                     Bm

With the ground froze hard and still

      A                       D

Gotta stay at the foot of the hill.

D

But next summer, things turn right

                       G

The companies will pay high

                          D

I'll make enough money to pay my bills

G                       Bm

Bid these mountains goodbye

A                   D

Then he said with a sigh:

[chorus]

See ya
