Southwind, you picked her up in Jacksonville   And left me cold and lonesome in the rain   Southwind, you took her off to Nashville   Left me chokin' in the smoke behind the train   And you go whoo-woo-hoo   She's gone a gain on the Southwind      Southwind, I need a forty-dollar ticket   And about this time tomorrow I'll be gone   Southwind, but if I had forty dollars   I would by myself a smile to carry on   And you go whoo-woo-hoo   She's gone a gain on the Southwind      Southwind, take her fast and take her far   'Cause that's the way she always likes to go   Southwind, I will be waitin' for the round trip   If you'll bring her back and I done told her so   Don't you go whoo-woo-hoo   She's gone again on the Southwind
