G South-{C} wind
You picked her up in Jacksonville
And left me cold and lonesome in the G rain
South-{C} wind
You took her off to Nashville
Left me chokin' in the smoke behind the G train
And you go D whoooo-wooo-hoo
She's gone a-{C} gain on the South-{G} wind.
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 by myself a smile to carry on
And you go whoooo-wooo-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 waitin' for the round trip
If you'll bring her back and I done told her so
Don't you go whoooo-wooo-hoo
She's gone again on the Southwind.
