Southbound Blues - Original - Leroy Carr

No need to ask me: why I’m packing my clothes

I’m going to leave you mama: and I really don’t care who knows

Now I used to love you: but now I’m getting tired of your kind

I’m going down south: just to see what I can find

Now I may miss you: but I don’t think I will

I’m going to get me a new woman: to love me till I get my fill

You mistreated me mama: you would not treat me nice and sweet

So I’m going down south: shake this dust of this town off my feet
