Southern Nights

Southern Nights - Jimmy Fortune

Written by：Allen Toussaint

Southern nights

Have you ever felt a southern night

Free as a breeze

Not to mention the trees

Whistling tunes that you know and love so

Southern skies

Just as good even when closed your eyes

I apologize to anyone who can truly say

That they found a better way

Southern skies

Have you ever noticed southern skies

It's precious beauty lies just beyond the eye

Goes running through your soul

Like the stories told of old

Old man

He and his dog they walked the old land

Every flower touched his cold hand

As he slowly walked by

Weeping willows

Cry for joy

Joy

Feel so good

Feel so good it's frightenin'

Wish I could

Stop this world from fighting

La di da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da da da

Mysteries

Like this and many others in the trees

Blow in the night

In the southern skies

Southern nights

Feel so good it's frightenin'

Wish I could

Stop this world from fighting

La di da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
