Back In '29 |
| Ol' Joe Bryson lived down a dirt road in the holler |
| No use for no license and that automobile |
| He got to town on his own two feet |
| Tough stained hands from raisin' his cattle and t’bacca |
| And soft -hearted for the shiny clean Cherokee hair |
| Rosalee could sit on in her rockin' chair |
| A dollar a day he made at the sawmill by the river |
| And lost outta work like everyone and taxes comin' due |
| He heard the news and you know it’s the truth |
| Back in '29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine |
| He cried, Rosalee I’m leavin' at sunrise |
| I heard 'em talkin' down at the stockyard |
| There’s jobs up north and I know it |
| Rosalee I’m walkin' to Detroit |
| Rosalee I’m walkin' to Detroit |
| Back in '29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine |
| Ol' Joe Bryson sent money from Kentucky to the holler |
| Soft-hearted for the shiny clean Cherokee hair |
| Rosalee could sit on in her rockin' chair' |
| Back in '29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine |
| He cried, Rosalee I’m leavin' at sunrise |
| I heard 'em talkin' down at the stockyard |
| There’s jobs up north and I know it |
| Rosalee I’m walkin' to Detroit |
| Rosalee I’m walkin' to Detroit |
| Back in '29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine |
| The years rolled on past the wheels on his chair in the city |
| No use for no license and that automobile |
| He’s gone to heaven with his own two feet |
| He cried, Rosalee I’m leavin' at sunrise |
| I heard 'em talkin' down at the stockyard |
| There’s jobs up north and I know it |
| Rosalee I’m walkin' to Detroit |
| Rosalee I’m walkin' to Detroit |
| Back in '29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine |
| He cried, Rosalee I’m leavin' at sunrise |
| I heard 'em talkin' down at the stockyard |
| There’s jobs up north and I know it |
| Rosalee I’m walkin' to Detroit |
| Rosalee I’m walkin' to Detroit |
| Back in '29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine |
| Back in '29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine |
