southbound [live in new york / 1970] - doc & merle watson lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
i’d like to have merle do his own tune now
he’s responsible for the music, and the ideas and most of the words
and i sort of just assisted, you know, in the production
usin’ them big words again there
it’s called “southbound”

[verse 1]
i’ve been here a month or more, stuck in this old city
people that have to call it home, they’re the ones i pity
lord, i’m homesick
and the blues is 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

[verse 2]
i’m all right ’til late at night, i’m sitting by my window
counted sheep, but i couldn’t sleep for listening to that train blow
i begin to pine
when i hear that great big old engine rollin’ down the line
i’m a*goin’ back and spend some time where i can have fun when i ain’t got a dime
i’m southbound

[verse 3]
southbound, she’s burnin’ the ground, and i don’t mean maybe
sure am glad i caught this train cause i want to see my baby
i’ve been lonesome
i long to see those hills that i come from
listen to the engine rattle and roar, takin’ me back home once more
i’m southbound
