Well, I live all alone in Chickasaw County

Out on 10 9

Are covered in kudzu vine

Till grandaddy lost his land

And it's scattered all over this end of the state
G D G
Gettin' by any way that we can
[Chorus]
Em D G C G
But, un der the kudz u vine

The mighty south lies sl eepi ng
Em D G C
Dream ing of grow ing

And slowly slipped aw ay

On autum nights like this, boys

I can almost hear her weeping

Out there, under the kudzu

If you follow that hot tar road down to Jackson

You pass through Planters ville

Un til they closed down the mill

Working down in Baton Rogue
