[Buddy, Julie Miller - Ellis County lyrics]
Take me back when times were hard
But we didn't know it
If we ate, we had to grow it
Take me back when all we
Could afford was laughter
And two mules instead of a tractor
Take me back again
Take me back where there was
Nothing left to throw out
There was a light that wouldn't go out
Take me back when we had swollen fingers
We'd gotten
When everybody helped pick the cotton
Take me back again take me back to places
Where my memory tarries
Take me back to precious things
That my heart carries
Take me back when daddy led
The singing on Sunday
Nobody had to plow until Monday
Take me back when I could feel
The kiss of my mother
And I had all my sisters and brothers
Take me back again
Take me back to places
Where my memory tarries
Take me back to precious things
That my heart carries
Take me back when times were hard
But we didn't know it
If we ate, we had to grow it
Take me back when all we
Could afford was laughter
And two mules instead of a tractor
Take me back again take me back again
But we didn't know it
If we ate, we had to grow it
Take me back when all we
Could afford was laughter
And two mules instead of a tractor
Take me back again
Take me back where there was
Nothing left to throw out
There was a light that wouldn't go out
Take me back when we had swollen fingers
We'd gotten
When everybody helped pick the cotton
Take me back again take me back to places
Where my memory tarries
Take me back to precious things
That my heart carries
Take me back when daddy led
The singing on Sunday
Nobody had to plow until Monday
Take me back when I could feel
The kiss of my mother
And I had all my sisters and brothers
Take me back again
Take me back to places
Where my memory tarries
Take me back to precious things
That my heart carries
Take me back when times were hard
But we didn't know it
If we ate, we had to grow it
Take me back when all we
Could afford was laughter
And two mules instead of a tractor
Take me back again take me back again
