{Verse 1}
G D Em D
Way up north, where the snow flies
C D G D
and the sun don't hardly shine
G D Em D
If it weren't for, my true love
C D
I'd have long ago lost my mind
C D G
I'd have long ago lost my mind
{Verse 2}
There's good folks here and good folks there
most everywhere I go
But the land of my heart is down
where the snow white cotton grows
where the snow white cotton grows
C Bm Am G
When the river runs over from the melting snow
C D G
we will take to the higher ground
C Bm Am G
when the water goes down again, we'll saddle our old paint
C D G
we'll be homeward bound
C Bm D G
me and my love will be homeward bound

{verse 3}
Heartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak tree
holding through tornado wind
tougher than timber, stronger than steel
they'll guide me back southward again
they'll guide me back southward again
{repeat chorus}
