[Verso 1]
You picked her up in Jacksonville
And left me cold and lonesome in the rain
Southwind
You took her off to Nashville
Left me choking in the smoke behind the train
And you go whoooo-wooo-hoo
She's gone again on the Southwind
[Coro]
Southwind
[Verso 2]
I need a forty-dollar ticket
And about this time tomorrow I'll be gone
Southwind
But if I had forty dollars
I would buy myself a smile to carry on
And you go whoooo-wooo-hoo
She's gone again on the Southwind
[Coro]
[Verso 3]
Take her fast and take her far
Сause that's the way she always likes to go
Southwind
I will be waiting 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
