Goin' to the country
Gonna find myself a new love
Been too long in the city
Bring down mountain showers
Let them fall down on my head
Chase the blues away

Goin' down goin' down
We're all goin' down to the country

Been so long since I've seen
My mother, father or my sister
On the blue-banked bayou
Remember when we used to drink
Our booze together
Like them southern folks do

Goin' down goin' down
We're all goin' down to the country

Goin' to the country
Gonna find myself a new love
Been too long in the city
Bring down mountain showers
Let them fall down on my head
Chase the blues away
