Lyric Headed For Southland (1930)

I m headed for Southland, nothin you can do make me stay.
I m headed for dear old Southland, your money can t make me stay.
I m goin where there s no ice and snow, the sun shines every day.

Dear old Southland, where I long to be.
Dear old Southland, is where I long to be.
That s where I ll lose my troubles, beneath a weepin willow tree.

I can wake up every morning, with the risin sun.
I can wake up every morning, with the risin sun.
And be so happy to know all my troubles is done.

I m goin to Southland, where people don t have the blues.
I m goin to Southland, where people don t have the blues.
I m tired of walkin and cryin all night, just wearin out all my shoes.

When I was in dear old Southland, beneath the southern sky.
When I was in dear old Southland, beneath the southern sky.
I didn t know what it was, to hang my head and cry.

But now I m way up here, in this God-forsaken town.
Now I m way up here alone, in this God-forsaken town.
And it almost breaks my heart, to see that evenin sun go down.
