The Mobile Stragglers - Move Across the Country (Live 2017)
Live at the Blind Mule, Mobile Al, Dec. 19, 2017 (As "The Clearers.")
Lyrics:
Started out in Alabama
And headed west
Gonna move across the river
And then some yet
Gonna move across the country
Gonna move across the country
Gonna move baby,
Honey, where the grass grows green
Ain't got me no orchard
No shaky peach tree
Stay out of my garden
Leave my plant bed be
Gonna move across the country
Gonna move across the country
Gonna move baby,
Honey, where the grass grows green
Woke up this morn'n
Was feelin' blue
Thinkin' of my baby
'Bout half past two
Gonna move across the country
Gonna move across the country
Gonna move baby,
Honey, where the grass grows green
Gonna cross me some mountains
And some great western plains
Gonna spend my life's rest
With 'Sweet' Mary Jane
Gonna move across the country
Gonna move across the country
Gonna move baby,
Honey, where the grass grows green
Gonna head back across that river
Gonna sell off my sacks
Gonna have me lots of money
When I get back
Gonna move across the country
Gonna move across the country
Gonna move baby,
Honey, where the grass grows green !!!
