Got The South In My Soul - Wiley, Young, Washington

When the dark night starts falling

And the moon starts to roam

What is this thing that keeps calling?

It’s the south in my soul

How I long for that delta

It’s my home, it’s my goal

Oughta be safe in its shelter

Got the south in my soul

Too long I’ve lingered in the darkness

No matter what I’ve won

I wanna say goodbye to darkness

Spend all my days in the sun

Let me lie on that levee

Let me burn black as coal

I know my heart won’t be heavy

Got the south in my soul
