Jubilee Road

Yesterday calls and my mind goes back
Down to Mississippi by a railroad track
Where the corn and the taters and the cotton grows on Jubilee Road
Black folks used to call me Cotton-top
Catchin’ them catfish, skippin’ those rocks
Lordy, I’d trade everything I’ve got for Jubilee Road

Jubilee Road I can hear ya’ callin’
Jubilee Road I can hear ya’ talkin’
Mississippi dream ya’ got me walkin’ on Jubilee Road
Yesterday’s gone don’t ya’ understand
Cotton-top’s grown to be a man
Big city sidewalks cover the sand on Jubilee Road

Walkin’ down the road to my fishin’ hole
Hot sand poppin’ up between by toes
Heaven was a place that I used to know as Jubilee Road
Grapevine swings in the summertime
Laughin’ and singin’ with friends of mine
Life was good there all the time on Jubilee Road

Repeat Chorus

Now there ain’t no cotton and there ain’t no corn
Can’t find the place where I was born
Everyone’s gone that I used to know from Jubilee Road
I work like a fool for a dollar bill
Wanna’ go home but I never will
But in my mind I can go there still to Jubilee Road

Repeat Chorus
