Edwards, Jonathan - Athens County Lyrics
Way down in Athens County, that's where I am
I'm goin' 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 doin' fine
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 goin' 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 doin' fine
Sweet Maria, never long gone
That's my good friend John, he's whistlin' 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 goin' 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 doin' 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

Edwards, Jonathan Athens County Comments
The Mission Mountain Wood Band did a great version of this classic Edwards song.
Used to see them as the Headstone Circus in 1967 in Athens. They were the local hippie band.
Heard this at the The Dugout(Athens) in the 80's.
John Denver
goin up the road to Meigs county
I lived it all
+William Thurston hell yeah brother
I saw him live at Plymouth Massachusetts on the waterfront. It was great!
Memories...
I always had this great album playing in 1980, and finally I saw Jonathan Edwards in the fall of 1981 in Poughkeepsie, at The Chanch, while I was attending SUNY New Paltz, with my two woman friends! This is dedicated to them!!! Sincerely, BobbyK
I'm afraid I don't have that album.
I don't have that one. Sorry.
Could you upload "That's What Our Life Is"?
He plays it simultaneously along with his guitar using a harmonica rack (ala Neil Young) which I find to be INCREDIBLE !

What about them?
Spent four years at O U Athens. Wild time.
Lived there for a number of years..."my good friend John" is "Lost John" Hutchison, a tremendous bluegrass player who owned Blue Eagle Music. The song "Shanty" is about the house on Mill St where Jonathan lived. Ballad of Upsy Daisy is about a trip(yeah that kind) he and Joe Dolce did in Meigs County(yeah THAT Meigs County just south of Athens.) I was fortunate enough to interview Jon a couple of times when he returned to Athens to play at the Baker Center ballroom back in the 70s.
Any chance you can throw up 'Everybody Knows Her'? I believe it's on this album.
Man, could that man play the harmonica!! If you listen closely, he precisely hits every note- just amazing!
I have this album from 1970.
