[Intro] A D A E7 D A [Verse 1]
A
I've been here a month or more, stuck in this old city.
People that have to call it home they're the ones I pity,
D
Lord, I'm homesick.

                                        A            A7
And blues are the only songs I ever seem to pick.

E7                                 D
I get out and walk the street 'til I get blisters on my feet.

    A              A7
I'm southbound.
[Fill] A D A E7 D A [Verse 2]
A
I'm all right 'til late at night I'm sitting by my window,
I count sheep but I can't sleep for listening to that train blow
D
I begin to pine

                                        A             A7
When I hear that great big engine rolling down the line

E7                                      D
I'm going back and spend some time where I can have fun when I ain't got a dime,

A                   A7
I'm southbound.
[Fill] A D A E7 D A [Verse 3]
A
Southbound! She's burnin' the ground and I don't mean maybe

                                      A7
Sure I'm glad I caught this train cos I'd like to see my baby

D
Lord I'm lonesome

                                A7
I long to see them hills that I come from

E7
Listen to the engine rattle and roar

D
She's taking me back home once more!

    A
I'm southbound
[Fill] A7 A D A E7 D A
