The dirt was clay and was the color of the blood in me
D G A
A twelve acre farm on a ridge in south Tennessee
Bm A G D
We left that sweat all over that land behind a mule we watched grow old row after row
D G A G D
Trying to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won’t grow

D G D
There was one old store in the hollow we all called town
D G A
It belonged to a gentle old man named Henry Brown
Bm A G Bm
He gave us credit in the wintertime so we could live through the cold when the wind brought snow
D G Em A G D
Trying to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won’t grow

But then one year death was going 'round and swiftly took it’s toll, Janie had to go

Now she lies asleep under ground so poor that grass won’t grow

As I stand here looking over this part of Tennessee

The fields are bare as far as the eye can see
C#m E A E
And over the grave where Janie lies there’s a beautiful sight to behold And no one knows
E A B7 A D
Why there’s flowers growing on ground so poor that grass won’t grow
