[Verse]
Bm
I remember when I was a child
Bm
My daddy said to me
Bm
We want you to grow up, son
F#
A-lovin' your mom and me
Em
But there's gonna be hard times
Bm Em
When you bound to feelin' low
Bm Em
And there's a place of jubilation
Bm Em Bm
Where the ragged people go
[Verse]
Bm
It's over on a back road
Bm
On the other side of town
Bm
In the quiet of the evening
F#
Sometimes you can hear the sound
Em
We'd all sit and listen
Bm Em
And Mama'd say, "Baby don't you know
Bm Em
That's the people's jubilation
Bm Em Bm
On Dowdy Ferry Road"
[Chorus]
Em
They're singing it on the corner
Em
Dancing in the street
Em
Movin' to the music
Em
Swayin' cheek to cheek

If you get the feeling

You'll never want to go
Em
You'll want to live forever

Bm
I saw her through a window
Bm
A-starin' back at me
Bm
I ask her what her name was
F#
She told me Sara Lee
Em
And as we were walkin'
Bm Em
She said, "Teach me to be free"
Bm Em
I said, "The only place to go
Bm Em Bm
Is down Dowdy Ferry Road"
[Chorus 2]
Em
We're singing it on the corner
Em
Dancing in the street

Movin' to the music

I heard her softly sayin'

"I love you, don't you know?

And we could live forever

On Dowdy Ferry Road"
