I want to talk to folks back home again,
to walk along a lonely country lane
To spend some time with that woman of mine
Heading south, Heading south
Things look bright and I feel alright,
Yeah, I'm heading south
Heading south to see the sun go down on campfire light,
To join in the singing at night
Heading south to cotton rows and honeysuckle bloom
Under the Cumberland moon
Heading south, heading south
Give me room to travel on my way,
