Greenwood Creek Lyrics - The Doobie Brothers - The Doobie Brothers

Tom Johnston 

Smell the fragrance of the old pine tree 

See the woman, she's down on her knees 

She own some land, and a good crop she seeks 

Down along the banks of Greenwood Creek 

I can hear that southbound rollin' 

Carryin' all my hopes away 

I'm strapped to my mule at the old country school 

When I'm gonna get out, I can't say 

Played guitar for ten long years 

My only pay was the hound dogs' cheers 

Someday I'm gonna get me some land 

Far away in that promised land
