Southbound

Southbound - Doc Watson

I've been here a month more stuck in

This old city

The people that have to call it home they're the

Ones I pity

Lord I'm homesick blues are the only songs

I ever seem to pick

I get out and walk the street 'til

I get blisters on my feet

I'm southbound

I'm all right 'til late at night I'm sitting

By my window

Counting sheep but

I couldn't sleep for listening to that train blow

I begin to pine

When I hear that big old engine rolling down the line

I'm going back to spend some time where

I can have fun if I ain't got a dime

I'm southbound

Southbound she's burning the ground and

I don't mean maybe

Sure I'm glad

I caught this train 'cos I'd like to see

My baby

I've been lonesome

Long to see them hills that I come from

Listen to the engine rattle and roar

Taking me back home once more

I'm southbound
