Got the South in My Soul

Got the South in My Soul - Lee Wiley/Bobby Hackett

When the dark night starts falling

And the moon starts to roam

What is this thing that keeps calling

It's the south in my soul

How I long for that delta

It's my home it's my goal

Oughta be safe in it's shelter

Got the south in my soul

Too long I've lingered in the darkness

No matter what I won

I wanna say goodbye to darkness

Spend all my days in the sun

Let me laugh there on that levee

And let me burn black as coal

I know my heart won't be so heavy

With the south south in my soul
