Back To The Backwoods
=====================
by Graeham Goble

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, yes I have,
and I know just how to understand,
the feelings 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,
(yes I was down),
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 girl.

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.
