Athens County Lyrics & Chords By Jonathan Edwards

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 stop and have some wine
Athens County, Maria 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 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 goin' 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 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 stop and have some wine
Athens County, Maria 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
Oh no
