Down South Blues Lyrics

Dock Boggs Down South Blues

I'm going to the station, Going to catch the fastest train that goes.
I'm a-going back South
Where the weather suits my clothes.
I'm going back South
If I wear out 99 pair of shoes;'Cause I'm broken-hearted, I've got those down South blues.
I was reared in the country
Where the snow it never fell.
I'm a-going back South, If I don't do so well.
Oh my mama told me, And my daddy told me too, Don't you go off, honey, Let those men make a fool out of you.
