"Southwind" lyrics

Southwind

Southwind
You picked her up in Jacksonville
And left me cold
And lonesome in this rain

Southwind
You took her off to Nashville
Left me choking in the smoke
Behind the train

And you go whoo-woo-hoo
She's gone again
On the Southwind

Southwind
I need a forty-dollar ticket
And about this time tomorrow
I'll be gone

Southwind
But if I had forty dollars
I would buy myself a smile
To carry on

And you go whoo-woo-hoo
She's gone again
On the Southwind

Southwind
Take her fast and take her far
Cause that's the way
She always likes to go

Southwind
I will be waiting for the round trip
If you'll bring her back
And I done told her so

Don't you go whoo-woo-hoo
She's gone again
On the Southwind
