Doobie Brothers Greenwood Creek Lyrics

Greenwood Creek Lyrics

Tom johnston

Smell the fragrance of the old pine tree
See the woman, she’s down on her knees
She own some land, and a good crop she seeks
Down along the banks of greenwood creek

I can hear that southbound rollin’
Carryin’ all my hopes away
I’m strapped to my mule at the old country school
When I’m gonna get out, I can’t say

Played guitar for ten long years
My only pay was the hound dogs’ cheers
Someday I’m gonna get me some land
Far away in that promised land

I can hear that southbound rollin’
Carryin’ all my hopes away
I’m strapped to my mule at the old country school
When I’m gonna get out, I can’t say
