Goin' to the country
Gonna find myself a new love
Been too long in the city
Bring down mountain showers
Let them fall down on my head
Chase the blues away
Goin' down goin' down
We're all goin' down to the country
Been so long since I've seen
My mother, father or my sister
On the blue-banked bayou
Remember when we used to drink
Our booze together
Like them southern folks do
Goin' down goin' down
We're all goin' down to the country
Goin' to the country
Gonna find myself a new love
Been too long in the city
Bring down mountain showers
Let them fall down on my head
Chase the blues away
