Greenwood, Mississippi
Been on the road for a long time
Meet a lot of women, but I leave them behind
I wanna go back to the land I love
Magnolia smells sweet and white cotton grow
Oh, take me home, darling
Take me back to the country
Why don't you take me home? Woo
To Greenwood, Mississippi, oh
Old Farmer John
He lived down the road
He worked in the field
Carrying a heavy load
He said he don't worry about a thing
Sweat rolling down his face
And he ain't feeling no pain
Oh, take me home, darling
Take me back to the country
Why don't you take me home? Woo
To Greenwood, Mississippi, woo
Better take me
Said she'd wait for me
Lord, I caused her a lot of misery
I left her crying
I didn't wanna go
Searching for something
I found long ago
Oh, take me home, darling
Take me back to the country
Why don't you take me home? Woo
To Greenwood, Mississippi
Oh, take me home
Oh, take me home
Take me, take me, take me home (take me back to the country)
Take me, Lord
Oh, take me
Take me, take me, take me, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Meet a lot of women, but I leave them behind
I wanna go back to the land I love
Magnolia smells sweet and white cotton grow
Oh, take me home, darling
Take me back to the country
Why don't you take me home? Woo
To Greenwood, Mississippi, oh
Old Farmer John
He lived down the road
He worked in the field
Carrying a heavy load
He said he don't worry about a thing
Sweat rolling down his face
And he ain't feeling no pain
Oh, take me home, darling
Take me back to the country
Why don't you take me home? Woo
To Greenwood, Mississippi, woo
Better take me
Said she'd wait for me
Lord, I caused her a lot of misery
I left her crying
I didn't wanna go
Searching for something
I found long ago
Oh, take me home, darling
Take me back to the country
Why don't you take me home? Woo
To Greenwood, Mississippi
Oh, take me home
Oh, take me home
Take me, take me, take me home (take me back to the country)
Take me, Lord
Oh, take me
Take me, take me, take me, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
