Got the South in my Soul, Pt. 1

Got the South in my Soul, Pt. 1 - Don Redman

When the dark night starts fallin'

And the moon starts to roam

What is this thing that keeps callin'

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

And spend all my days in the sun

But out you let me laugh on that levee

Let me burn black as coal

I know my heart won't be heavy

With the south in my soul

I know my heart won't be heavy

With the south in my soul
