Southbound Lyrics - On Stage - Doc Watson

I've been here a month or more, stuck in this old city. 

The people that have to call it home they're the ones I pity, 

Lord, I'm homesick. 

And the blues are the only songs I ever seem to pick. 

I get out and walk the street 'til I get blisters on my feet. 

I'm southbound. 

I'm all right 'til late at night I'm sitting by my window, 

Counting sheep but I couldn't sleep for listening to that train blow 

I begin to pine 

when I hear that big old engine rolling down the line

I'm going back to spend some time where I can have fun if I ain't got a dime, 

I'm southbound. 

Southbound! She's burnin' the ground and I don't mean maybe 

Sure I'm glad I caught this train cos I'd like to see my baby 

I've been lonesome 

Photos 

I long to see them hills that I come from 

Listen to the engine rattle and roar 

she's taking me back home once more! 

I'm southbound
