[Intro] C G Am Em C G D [Verse]
    G                            Bm
I'm goin' where the water rolls, Moses knows the way

      Em                               D               C
To my tin roof shanty by the railroad sign where the whistle blows for days

           G                             Bm
Where the mountains bare the face, of an injun brave

        Em                  D      C
And the green fields fade such a beautiful gray

     Am         Em      D

[Verse]
[tab]         G                    Bm
Hear the homeward call of the mockingbird

        Em                        D               C
Don't it sound just like a banjo ringin' from a dime store curb

        G                         Bm
See the sign on the cross, sayin' "Brother ain't you heard?"

     Em                          D            C
That this is the land where salvation ain't a dirty word
[Chorus]
C                         D
Cold buttermilk and honey mean more than a pocket full of money

G               F            Em
Oh Mama can you feel me draw near?

                C
Been lovin' you down through the years

            D
Even on the darkest days

     G          D
Look away, look away
[Verse]
    G                               Bm
I'm goin' where the cotton grows in rows of snowy bales

        Em                               D               C
Where a man and a mule don't look much different to the boss man's scale

          G                     Bm
Where the long leaf pine hide a secret place

     Em                                  D          C
That everybody knows what it looks like but can't nobody see
[Chorus]
C                         D
Cold buttermilk and honey mean more than a pocket full of money

G               F            Em
Oh Mama can you feel me draw near?

                C
Keep lovin' you down through the years

            D
Even on the darkest days

        G            D
I look away, I look away
[Bridge]
        Em                                                      A
To that circle 'round the sun still spinnin' and shine over the Lee Highway

       C            D            C
I look away, I look away, Dixieland
[Instrumental] G Am Em C G D C G Am Em C G D [Verse]
    G                            Bm
I'm goin' where the water rolls, Moses knows the way

      Em                                 D             C
To my old homestead where the lights are trimmed and burnin' 'til day

          G                           Bm
Where the singin' river flows, and it knows every name

     Em                           D           C
Of a thousand years of footsteps chasin' its wide domain
[Chorus]
C                         D
Cold buttermilk and honey mean more than a pocket full of money

G               F            Em
Oh Mama can you feel me draw near?

                C
Keep lovin' you down through the years

            D
Even on the darkest days

       G            D
I look away, look away

        Em                                       A
To that circle 'round the sun still spinnin' and shine over the Lee Highway

          C            D
Oh I look away, I look away
[Outro] C G Am Em C G D C G Am Em C G D G F Em
