Now I've been here a month or more stocked in this ol' city
|
People who have to call it home they were ones I pitty
|
Lord I'm homesick blues're only songs I ever sing and pick
|
I get out and walk the streets like the blisters on my feet I'm southbound
|
[ banjo - dobro ]
|
Now I'm all right too late at night I'm sittin' by my window
|
I count sheep but I can't sleep but listen to the train though I began to fine
|
When I hear that great big engine rollin' down the line
|
I'm goin' back to spend some time where I can't fall when I ain't got a dime
|
I'm southbound
|
[ ac.guitar - harmonica ]
|
Southbound she's burnin' the ground and I don't mean maybe
|
Sure I'm glad I caught this train I wanna see my baby
|
Lord I'm lonesome I long to see those hills where I come from
|
Listen that engine's lonesome roar takin' me back home once more I'm southbound
|
