Back To The Backwoods

Graeham Goble
September 7th, 1973

Who's gonna meet me in the mornin', when it's cold and I gotta go?
Who's gonna be with me and help me walk along that lonesome road?
I don't really wanna tell you that I'm broke and I got no place to go that I know

Well I've drifted around some city towns, seen a lot of ups and downs and I've seen a lot of jails
And I know just how to understand the feelin's of a lonely man who fails
And if I could by chance just find a way, I'd jump up on the nearest ship that sails

Why don't you take me away with you?
Why don't you take me away with you?
Back, back to the backwoods
I long to see my girl

I met a girl in an eastern town, she took me in, I was feelin' down that night
I thought that I could know her well and tell her of the trouble in my life
But she took me for all my money and left me to the mercy of the cold, dark night

Why don't you take me away?
Why don't you take me away?
(back to the backwoods)
Back to the backwoods
You know I long, you know I long, you know I long to see my gal

Why don't you take me away?
Please take me away?
(back to the backwoods)
Back to the backwoods
You know I long, you know I long to see my gal
