E A This old hound is St. Marys bound B E And this old hound has still got a ways to go A Spend the first half of your just trying to run away B E Spend the second half just trying to get back home Chorus: A To the Cumberland Sound B E Someday Ill cross that river and settle down C#m A B F#m Like voices from the timber, I cant get it out of my head A Its all I hear E A B E ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/wrinkle_neck_mules/cumberland_sound_crd.html ) E A Cotton aint the king no more, Kudzu is B E Its swallowing up the land and choking off the life A Inch by inch it pushed me to the precipice B E Gonna wade right in that water and float on down Chorus: E A This old hound is St. Marys bound E E And this old hound aint nowhere near there yet A But the ground been frozen since the new year B E And the cold dry air lies hard against my veins Chorus:
