C               F           G              C
Woke up this morning to the humming of the engines
C                  F             G            C
Hauling nature's finest from the Gulf of Mexico
C                 F      G                 C
Ridin' this ol' river is peaceful but it's lonesome
C           F               G                C
It makes wonder how the old folks are at home

C                           F           G                  C
Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pines
C       F           C             G                 C
But the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wine
C                       F              G              Am
Oh how I miss those mountains when the Laurels are in bloom
       F                  C              G              C
N' the southern stars are dancin' 'round North Carolina moon
C                 F               G                  C
Just road through Memphis I could hear them guitar's playing
C            F               G                    C
They had the blues so bad it almost broke my heart
C             F            G                  C
Don't sound nothing like a band of tree frogs singing
C             F                  G                   C
Every now and then they'd get in tune with grandpa's harp

C               G                     C
When I die boys make me this promise
C              F            G                C
You'll send my body back up North Carolina way
C                   F          G                C
I don't want no tombstone just lay me next to mama
C                F           G            C
And let the honeysuckle grow wild upon my grave
