Lyric Southland Is Alright By Me (1931)

Good mornin Southland, gee, I been gone so long.
Good mornin Southland, gee, I been gone so long.
The fields is white with cotton, I must be welcomed home.

There s that same little schoolhouse way down Lovers Lane.
There s that same little schoolhouse way down Lovers Lane.
Gee, how glad I am, to be back home again.

Southland, I hear you callin, I m comin home to you.
Mmmm, Southland, I m comin home to you.
Cause no place I ve roamed, seems to take the place of you.

Why do so many people kick on Southland, I don t see nothin wrong.
Why do so many people kick on Southland, I don t see nothin wrong.
Only so many people from the South, deny where they belong.

Why do people kick on Southland, she s all right with me.
Mmmmm, she s all right with me.
Only some of these northern people, is dumber than I ll ever be.
