Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm going down south, I'm going down south

Going down south, I'm going down south

Chilly wind don't blow

[Verse 2]

I'm going with you, babe, I'm going with you, babe

Going with you, babe, I'm going with you, babe

Don't care where you go

[Verse 3]

Some other man, some other man

Some other man, some other man

He's always hanging around

[Verse 4]

I'd rather be dead, rather be dead

Rather be dead, I'd rather be dead

Six feet in the ground

[Verse 5]

Going down south, going down south

Going down south, going down south

Chilly wind don't blow
