Lyrics:
they nursed it, rehearsed it,
And gave out the news
That the southland
Gave birth to the blues!
Dear Old Southland with it's dreamy songs
Takes me back there where I belong
How I'd love to be in mammy's arms
When It's Sleepy Time Down South
flying too high for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland we're comin' to you
When
ooh-ooh
That fine melody caressing the shore
Familiar to me, I've heard it before
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, that's Southland
Don't I feel it in my
Dear Old Southland with it's dreamy songs
Takes me back there where I belong
How I'd love to be in mammy's arms
When It's Sleepy Time Down South
gonna roll my blues away
Hear her thunder on through the night
This Golden Rocket is a-doin' me right
That sunny old southland sure is a part of me
flyin' too high, for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, we're comin' to you
When
flying too high for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland we're commin' to you
too high for my little old sky so I'm movin' on
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland we're comin' to you
Well we're
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
That fine melody caressing the shore
Familiar to me, I've heard it before
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, that's Southland
Don't I feel it
(Sit down and rest your chassis,)
You're in Tallahassee
(The Cap8ital City of Florida and)
The Southland at its best!
(But Dixie at its very best!)
If that banjo keeps a ringin'
Southland I'm wingin'
Swinging my way back home
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
rehearsed it
And gave out the news
That the Southland gave birth to the blues!
(Sit down and rest your chassis,)
You're in Tallahassee
(The Cap8ital City of Florida and)
The Southland at its best!
(But Dixie at its very best!)
There's a cabin in the southland,
Where I long to go.
Little cabin in the cotton,
Where the cotton grows.
There's a cabin in the cotton,
Far
movin' on
And that big loud whistle, as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, we're comin' to you
I'm movin' on, oh, keep movin' along
You
they nursed it, rehearsed it,
And gave out the news
That the southland
Gave birth to the blues!
Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore
Headed homebound just once more
To my Mississippi delta home
Southland has that grand garden spot
Although you
they nursed it, rehearsed it
And gave out the news
That the southland
Gave birth to the blues!
they nursed it, rehearsed it
And gave out the news
That the southland
Gave birth to the blues!
There's a cabin in the southland,
Where I long to go.
Little cabin in the cotton,
Where the cotton grows.
There's a cabin in the cotton,
Far
See the shadows softly moving
Take a train towards the southlands
Our time was never better
We shall pass the sights of splendor
On the door
Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore,
Headed home bound just once more
To my Mississippi Delta home.
Southland has that grand garden spot,
Although,
Dear Old Southland with it's dreamy songs
Takes me back there where I belong
How I'd love to be in mammy's arms
When It's Sleepy Time Down South
