Tabbed by Larry Mofle

Capo 1

    C                                  F               C 
The southeast Georgia red clay dust is groundin' to my blue jeans
  C                                                G 
A heavy hundred pound cotton sack draggin' along behind
C                                        F         C
Wanting to leave this place so bad, I forget how I got here
C          F        C     G            C
Workin' my way back home, one row at a time


Chorus:
       F
It's a long old cotton road between here and Waco
F                                                   G
Then, three days a-thumbin' through that California line
    C                                F                    C
And two more days of pickin' to that house, just south of Fresno
C          F        C     G            C 
Workin' my way back home, one row at a time

Mississippi delta mud is caked in layers on my brogans
Sunshine on snow white cotton, nearly makes me blind
I can almost see 'em now, a home folk runnin' out to meet me
Workin' my way back home, one row at a time

Chorus

Workin' my way back home, one row at a time
