Southwind Lyrics

Johnny Cash Southwind

South- wind



You picked her up in Jacksonville



And left me cold and lonesome in the rain



South- wind



You took her off to Nashville



Left me chokin' in the smoke behind the train



And you go whoooo-wooo-hoo



She's gone a- gain on the South- 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.
