Cabbagetown |
| My Granddaddy was raised up in the hills, in '29 he came down |
| He used to ride to Atlanta, got a job in a Cotton Mill |
| But everybody called it Cabbagetown |
| Oh-Oh-Oh, Cabbagetown |
| The handpainted sign said Cabbagetown |
| He met my Grandma, when she was just sixteen |
| They’d spin Old No. 7, on the second floor |
| They grew a little garden, they started a family |
| They owed all their pay, to the Ray Jay store |
| Oh-Oh-Oh, Cabbagetown |
| Never been out of Cabbagetown |
| Oh-Oh-Oh, Cabbagetown |
| What goes up, will come down |
| When they finally closed, the shadows fell |
| Covered Cabbagetown, like a dirty vail. |
| Woke up this morning, my eyes were filled with tears |
| I was dreaming of Grandpa, in forty some odd years |
| Now the mountains call to me, a lonely soulful sound |
| Once I leave here, I ain’t coming back to Cabbagetown |
| Oh-Oh-Oh, Cabbagetown |
| You better stay away, when the sun goes down |
| Oh-Oh-Oh, Cabbagetown |
| I’m never goin' back to Cabbagetown |
| No, I’m never goin' back to Cabbagetown |
| Ah, one more time, I’m never goin' back to Cabbagetown… |
| No, No |
