Athens County

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
