Florida Bound Blues Lyrics
Florida Bound Blues - Bessie Smith
Written by：Clarence Williams
Goodbye north
Hello south
Goodbye north
Hello south
It's so cold
Up here
That the words freeze in your mouth
I'm going to florida
Where I can have my fun
I'm going to florida
Where I can have my fun
Where I can lay out in the green grass
And look up at the sun
Hey
Hey
Red cap help me with this load
Red cap porter help me with this load
Help us out
Hold that steamboat Mr captain let me
Get on board
I got a letter from my daddy
He bought me a sweet piece of land
I got a letter from my daddy
He bought me a small
Piece of ground
You can't blame me for leaving lord
I mean I'm florida
My papa told me
My mama told me too
My papa told me
My mama told me too
Don't let them bell bottom britches
Make a fool out of you
