Athens County Songtext
von Jonathan Edwards

Way down in Athens County
That′s where I am
I'm going on the road tomorrow
Up to Amsterdam
Way down in Athens County
We stop and have some wine
Athens County
Maria and me
We′re doing fine

Sweet Maria, never long gone
Sweet Maria, never long gone
Never long gone

I just got into this town
I'm feeling mighty good
I found my good friend sound
I had a hunch I would


Way down in Athens County
That's where I am
I′m going on the road tomorrow
Up to Amsterdam
Way down in Athens County
We stop and have some wine
Athens County
Maria and me
We′re doing fine

Sweet Maria, never long gone
Sweet Maria, never long gone
Never long gone

That's my good friend John
He′s whistling a bluegrass tune
We pick it in the sunshine
Sing it in the afternoon

Way down in Athens County
That's where I am
I′m going on the road tomorrow
Up to Amsterdam
Way down in Athens County
We stop and have some wine
Athens County
Maria and me
We're doing fine


Sweet Maria, never long gone
Sweet Maria, never long gone
Well, hello Maria
Sweet Maria, never long gone
So long, sweet Maria, never long gone
Hello Maria
Sweet Maria, never long gone
Oh no
