Flatt And Scruggs Southbound Lyrics

Southbound Lyrics

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
