C F C
The seventh son born to an Arkansas farmer

And a hard-workin’ mother of twelve

Who never could find any time or a dollar
F G C C C C
That she could just spend on herself
C F C
He remembers things now, that his daddy once told him
Am F C
The old man grew wiser with time

And a life on the farm, that in a boy's view was awful
F G C G
Has changed in these same older eyes
[Chorus]
C G C
Oh, the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie
Am7
Where cotton and corn used to grow
C F C
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy

Who'd give all he owns just to go

He recalls how grandaddy held him and taught him

The melody to "In The Pines"

He'd trade just to go back in time
[Chorus]

Oh, the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie

Where cotton and corn used to grow

And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy

Who'd give all he owns just to go
