Send "Ten Miles From Natchez" Ringtone to your Cell

Now freight train keep a-rolling; leaves all the riding to me
There's folks down in Natchez that I'm longing to see
The white cotton's growing and the magnolia's in bloom
Just ten miles from Natchez that's where I'll be making my home

Got a lettter from sister she said that they miss me at home
The farm is neglected cause papa can't work it alone
Their health is failing and mama's hair's turning grey
Just ten miles to Natchez and I'll be back with them to stay

[ dobro ]

I wanted to ramble you know how a young boy will dream
Off to Chicago searching for fortune and fame
Spent many long nights with the hoboes down by the track
Homesick for Natchez and too much pride to go back

I went to Alaska searching the mountains for gold
I might have stayed on but the winters up there are too cold
Went down to old Frisco to work on the docks for a while
I was doing all right till an eastbound freight caught my eye
Just ten miles from Natchez that's where I'll be making my home
