Ginseng Sullivan Chords Ukulele tab

	  
	  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   
 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}
