SOUTHBOUND |
1. |
Now I've been here a month or more stocked in this ol’ city People have to call it home they were ones I pitty Lord I’m homesick blues’re the only songs I ever sing and pick I get out and walk the streets Like that blisters on my feet I’m southbound |
2. |
Now I’m all right too late at night I’m sittin’ by my window
I count sheep but I can’t sleep but listen to the train though I began to pine I hear that great big engine rollin’ down the line I’m goin’ back to spend some time Where I can’t have fun when I ain’t got a dime I’m southbound |

Southbound she’s burnin’ the ground and I don’t mean maybe Sure I’m glad I caught this train I wanna see my baby Lord I’m lonesome I long to see those hills where I come from Listen the engine’s rattlen’n’ roar Takin’ me back home once more I’m southbound |
