Ginseng Blues

Ain't a-gonna dig no ginseng

Well I ain't a-gonna hunt no crow

Ain't a-gonna do a doggone thing

But love my dear sweet mama

You can't read my mind

When you think I'm loving you,mama

I'm quittin' you all the time

Yo-dee-o-del-lay-hee-hee-hee

Yo-lee-o-lay-hee-hee

Yo-yo-de-lay-hee-hee

Yo-del-lay-hee

My home ain't here

It’s down in Caroline

I got two chil'ren down in Georgie

But they sure ain't mine, sweet mama

You can't read my mind

When you think I'm loving you, mama

I’m quittin' you all the time

Yo-dee-o-del-lay-hee-hee-hee

Yo-lee-o-lay-hee-hee

Yo-yo-de-lay-hee-hee

Yo-del-lay-hee

I got a girl in Georgie

One in Dixie, too

If you treat me mean, sweet mama

Turn my back on you, good baby

You can’t read my mind

When you think I’m loving you, mama

I’m quittin' you all the time

Yo-dee-o-del-lay-hee-hee-hee

Yo-lee-o-lay-hee-hee

Yo-yo-de-lay-hee-hee

Yo-del-lay-hee

Well, I ain’t a-gonna work no tin post

Well, I ain’t a-gonna load no coal

Put my head out the window

Watch the drums roll, sweet mama

You can’t read my mind

When you think I’m loving you, mama

I’m quittin' you all the time

Yo-dee-o-del-lay-hee-hee-hee

Yo-lee-o-lay-hee-hee

Yo-yo-de-lay-hee-hee

Yo-del-lay-hee
