Well I was raised by   Papa Misery   and Mama Guitar   I never had no   Place to call home   Except for the woods behind the pond      In the backwoods   In the backwoods   That's where I belong      Sister Merry   and brother Gently lost their homes in the big black mud   (They lost it all, yeah)      They moved to Georgia   But I didn't follow   I stayed back home to tend the farm   I got me a dog, he's got no eyes   I cut 'em out 'cause I though he was watchin' me   So I got me a girl, she got no legs   I cut 'em off so she wouldn't go cheatin'   (yeah, no more cheatin' now)      In the backwoods   (I know I done some things wrong)   In the backwoods   (But it got just so dog-gone lonesome)   That's where I belong      In the backwoods   In the backwoods   That's where I belong      In the backwoods   In the backwoods   That's where I belong      In the backwoods
