Dock Boggs - Down South Blues Lyrics

I'm going to the station
Going to catch the fastest train that goes
I'm a-going back South
Where the weather suits my clothes

I'm going back South
If I wear out ninety-nine pair of shoes
'Cause I'm broken-hearted
I've got those down South blues

I was reared in the country
Where the snow it never fell
I'm a-going back South
If I don't do so well

Oh, my mama told me
And my daddy told me too
Don't you go off, honey
Let those men make a fool out of you
