Key: Ab major
Verse 1
way back in the back country,
where the word wouldn't reach,
the people didn't have nobody to preach.
So all the preaching
had to be took care of by an outsider,
C
G
and he was known as a circuit writer.
D
G
Well, the blues had their circuit writers,
too, wondering men who
one place to another,
C
singing their stories and singing them good,
and sleeping and eating wherever
they could.
G
C
Circuit Rider.
That was the name that they borrowed.
For the preacher,
A
E
is a name all right to use.
