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 |
