Flying South

Summer's gone and wintertime's a comin' and where I am ain't where I want to be

I can hear my southern home a callin' and it's callin' out that old wide goose and me

I got kids and kin down in Kentucky I got lots of aunts in Alabam

Mom a waitin' down in Mississippi and my sist's in Carolina's honey land

Flyin' flyin' south to Dixie Lord I've been so lonesome and alone

Stayin' ain't no use because my heart's an old wild goose

And so tomorrow I'll be flyin' south for home

Grandma and grandpa's down in Georgia and my sweetheart's down in Tennessee

There's a little part of all the southland in my heart

And honey in the south is where I want to be

Summer's gone and wintertime's a comin' and where I am ain't where I want to be

I can hear my southern home a callin' and it's callin' out that old wide goose and me

Flyin' flyin' south to Dixie...

And tomorrow I'll be flyin' south for home
