C G D
[Verse]
I'm Ggoin' where the water rolls, BmMoses knows the way
To my Emtin roof shanty by the railroad sDign where the whCistle blows for days
Where the mGountains bare the face, of an Bminjun brave
And the Emgreen fields fade suDch a beCautiful gray
Look Amaway, look EmawayD  
[Verse]
Hear the Ghomeward call of the Bmmockingbird
Don't it Emsound just like a banjo rDingin' from a diCme store curb
See the Gsign on the cross, sayin' Bm"Brother ain't you heard?"
That Emthis is the land where salvaDtion ain't a Cdirty word
[Chorus]
CCold buttermilk and honey Dmean more than a pocket full of money
GOh Mama can you Ffeel me draw Emnear?
Been lovin' you Cdown through the years
Even on the Ddarkest days
Look Gaway, look Daway
[Verse]
I'm Ggoin' where the cotton grows in Bmrows of snowy bales
Where a Emman and a mule don't look much diDfferent to the bCoss man's scale
Where the Glong leaf pine hide a Bmsecret place
That Emeverybody knows what it looks like bDut can't noCbody see
[Chorus]
CCold buttermilk and honey Dmean more than a pocket full of money
GOh Mama can you Ffeel me draw Emnear?
Keep lovin' you Cdown through the years
Even on the Ddarkest days
I look aGway, I look aDway
[Bridge]
To that Emcircle 'round the sun still spinnin' and shine over the ALee Highway
I look Caway, I look Daway, DixielaCnd
[Instrumental]
G Am Em C G D C G Am Em C G D
[Verse]
I'm Ggoin' where the water rolls, BmMoses knows the way
To my Emold homestead where the lights are Dtrimmed and buCrnin' 'til day
Where the Gsingin' river flows, and it Bmknows every name
Of a Emthousand years of footsteps cDhasin' its wCide domain
[Chorus]
CCold buttermilk and honey Dmean more than a pocket full of money
GOh Mama can you Ffeel me draw Emnear?
Keep lovin' you Cdown through the years
Even on the Ddarkest days
I look Gaway, look awDay
To that Emcircle 'round the sun still spinnin' and Ashine over the Lee Highway
Oh I look Caway, I look Daway
