Lord, I'm southbound, Lord, I'm comin' home to you
Lord, I'm southbound, baby, Lord, I'm comin' home to you
Got that old lonesome feelin' that's sometimes called the blues

I've been workin' every night, go travelin' every day
Well I've been workin' every night, go travelin' every day
You can tell your other man, sweet daddy's on his way
He better be leavin' now

Lord I'm southbound, Lord I'm southbound baby
Ah-h-h-h Lord I'm southbound baby
You can tell your other man
Sweet daddy's on his way

Got your hands full now, baby, as soon as I hit that door
Got your hands full now woman, as soon as I hit that door
I'm gonna make it on up to you
All the times that I've been gone

Lord I'm southbound, Lord I'm southbound baby
Ah-h-h-h Lord I'm south bound baby
I'm gonna make it on up to you
All the times that I've been gone
