Schwa Lyrics

Athens County

Lyricist: Jonathan Edwards
Vocalist: John Mullins

Way down in Athens County 
That's where I am 
Goin' on the road tomorrow 
Up to Amsterdam 
Way down in Athens County 
We'll stop and have some wine 
Athens County 
Marie and me 
We're doin' fine 
Sweet Maria 
Never long gone 
Sweet Maria 
Never long gone 
Never long gone 

I just got into this town 
I'm feelin' 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 goin' on the road tomorrow 
Up to Amsterdam 
Way down in Athens County 
We'll stop and have some wine 

Athens County 
Marie and me 
We're doin' fine 
Sweet Maria 
Never long gone 
Sweet Maria 
Never long gone 
Never long gone 

That's my good friend John 
He's whistlin' 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 goin' on the road tomorrow 
Up to Amsterdam 
Way down in Athens County 
We'll stop and have some wine 

Athens County 
Marie and me 
We're doin' 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 
For long
