South Of Cincinnati Lyrics

South Of Cincinnati lyrics

If you ever get south of Cincinnati down where the dogwood trees grow
If you
ever get south of the Mason Dixon to the home you left so long ago
If you
ever get south of the Ohio River down where Dixieland begins
If you ever get
south of Cincinnati I'll be yours again

She pulled the letter from the
pages of her Bible
And a rose pressed inside the Book of Luke
For
fourteen years she'd write each day but keep it hidden
Refused to even speak
his name, but still she wrote

Chorus:

If you ever get south of
Cincinnati down where the dogwood trees grow
If you ever get south of the
Mason Dixon to the home you left so long ago
If you ever get south of the
Ohio River down where Dixieland begins
If you ever get south of Cincinnati
I'll be yours again

At a cold gray apartment in Chicago
A cigarette
drowns inside a glass of gin
He lies there drunk, but it don't matter drunk
or sober
He'll never read the words that pride won't let her
send

Chorus:

If you ever get south of Cincinnati down where the
dogwood trees grow
If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon to the home you
left so long ago
If you ever get south of the Ohio River down where
Dixieland begins
If you ever get south of Cincinnati I'll be yours
again
Then I'll be yours again
