C C C F F G G C
[Verse]
CWoke up this morFning to the Ghumming of the Cengines
CHauling nature's fiFnest from the GGulf of MexicCo
CRidin' this ol' riFver is Gpeaceful but it's Clonesome
CIt makes wonFder how the old Gfolks are at homeC  
[Chorus]
CNow the years have blown by Fme like the Gwind through the piCnes
CBut the Fsong of the Csouth is ever Gsweet as homemade Cwine
COh how I miss those mounFtains when the GLaurels are in Ambloom
N' the Fsouthern stars are Cdancin' 'round GNorth Carolina Cmoon
CJust road through FMemphis I could Ghear them guitar's Cplaying
CThey had the Fblues so bad it Galmost broke my heartC  
CDon't sound noFthing like a Gband of tree frogs Csinging
CEvery now and Fthen they'd get in Gtune with grandpa's Charp
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
CWhen I die boys Gmake me this promiseC  
CYou'll send my Fbody back up GNorth Carolina waCy
CI don't want no tombFstone just Glay me next to maCma
CAnd let the honeyFsuckle grow Gwild upon my Cgrave

[Verse]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

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

And let the honeysuckle grow wild upon my grave
