Buddy Miller - Ellis County

Capo 2

G       C         G                   C
Take me back when times were hard but we didn't know it
G         C
If we ate we had to grow it
G       D         Em           C 
Take me back when all we could afford was laughter
G               C
And two mules instead of a tractor
D            G
Take me back again


Take me back where there was nothing left to throw out
There was a light that wouldn't go out
Take me back when had swollen fingers we gotten
When everybody helped pick the cotton
Take me back again

D       C       Em            D/F#      G
Take me back to places where my memory tarry's
D       C       Em                   D
Take me back to precious things that my heart carry's


Take me back when daddy led the singing on Sunday
Nobody had to plow til Monday
Take me back where I could feel the kiss of my mother
I had all my sisters and brothers
Take me back again


Take me back to places where my memory tarry's
Take me back to precious things that my heart carry's


Take me back when times were hard but we didn't know it
If we ate we had to grow it
Take me back when all we could afford was laughter
And two mules instead of a tractor
Take me back again
Take me back again
