Doc & Merle Watson:
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

3. 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
