RED CLAY COUNTRY
(Walter Schorr / Nick Woods)

The New Christy Minstels - 1964



I'm goin' back to the red clay country
I'm on my way with the mornin' sun
I'm goin' back to the red clay country
I've made my peace and my ramblin's done

I crossed the plains and I climbed the mountains
I wandered far from the Tennessee
I'm goin' back to the red clay country
For the one I love waits there for me

I've been gone too long
Now it's time I was headin' back to my home, to my home

I said goodbye to the friends I made here
In just a while I'll be on my way
I'm going back to the red clay country
In just a while I'll be home to stay
