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

 I just might gingerly poke 'em in the eye. This is not like eating okra."
