Well I've been on the road Well I've been on the road Bem, eu estive na estrada For a long time For a long time Por muito tempo Met a lot of women Met a lot of women Conheci muitas mulheres Had to leave them all behind Had to leave them all behind Tive que deixar todos eles para trás Because I want to go back Because I want to go back Porque eu quero voltar To the land I love To the land I love Para a terra que amo Where Magnolia smells sweet Where Magnolia smells sweet Onde Magnolia tem um cheiro doce And white cotton is warm And white cotton is warm E o algodão branco é quente Take me on back Take me on back Me leve de volta Back to the country Back to the country De volta ao país Take me on down, down Take me on down, down Leve-me para baixo, para baixo Greenwood Mississippi Greenwood Mississippi Greenwood Mississippi Old farmer John Old farmer John Velho fazendeiro John He lives down the road He lives down the road Ele mora na estrada Works in the fields Works in the fields Trabalha no campo Carrying a heavy load Carrying a heavy load Carregando uma carga pesada He doesn't have to worry He doesn't have to worry Ele não precisa se preocupar About a thing About a thing Sobre uma coisa Because everyday now Because everyday now Porque todos os dias agora You can hear him sing You can hear him sing Você pode ouvi-lo cantar
