2nd south carolina string band - lynchburg town/briggs' jig lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
goin’ on down to town
goin’ on down to town
goin’ on down to lynchburg town
to take my tobacco down

[verse 1]
tobacco’s selling high
tobacco’s selling high
fifty cents when it’s wet
and sixty when it’s dry

tobacco’s selling low
tobacco’s selling low
tobacco won’t bring seven cents
and it ain’t no use to go

[chorus]
goin’ on down to town
goin’ on down to town
goin’ on down to lynchburg town
to take my tobacco down

[verse 2]
little piece of ash cake
little piece of fat
some folks want to grumble when
you get so much as that
love them mashed potatoes
make ’em in the sand
love the bacon and cornbread
i fry them in the pan

[chorus]
goin’ on down to town
goin’ on down to town
goin’ on down to lynchburg town
to take my tobacco down

[verse 3]
easiest thing i ever did
was floatin’ down on gin
the hardеst thing i ever did do
was holdin’ back again

worst thing that i evеr did
i got the boat hung in a vine
best thing that i ever did do
was lovin’ them ladies fine

[chorus]
goin’ on down to town
goin’ on down to town
goin’ on down to lynchburg town
to take my tobacco down
[verse 4]
while i don’t mind the work so hard
the pay is mighty lean
i don’t see the reason why
some folks treat me so mean

times is getting hard
money’s getting scarce
if it don’t get no better here
well, i’m gonna leave this place

[chorus]
goin’ on down to town
goin’ on down to town
goin’ on down to lynchburg town
to take my tobacco down

goin’ on down to town
goin’ on down to town
goin’ on down to lynchburg town
to take my tobacco down
