Lyrics
Yeah, I'm goin' down in Florida
Where the sun shine damn near everyday
Well, well I'm goin' down in Florida
Where the sun shine damn near everyday
Yeah, I'll take my woman out on the beach fellas and
And sit down in the sand and play
Yeah, well I think I'll go down in Gainesville
Just to see an old friend of mine
Well, I believe I'll cut down in Gainesville
Ah, just to see an old buddy o' mine
Well, you know if we're not too busy
I believe that I'm gon' drop over in Uberry sometime
Well alrighty boy, let's go back to Florida
Let's go back down to Florida where the sun shines
Yeah, I believe I'll leave tomorrow
Well, I'm gon' be on my way
Yes, I'm gon' have a plenty of time down there
Well, I don't wanna make myself late
Well, you know I believe I'll go back down in Gainesville, people say
And this time I'm going to stay
Let's rise woman, let's rise
All rise, let go
Yeah, deep down in Florida
Well, well that's the place I long to be
Well, oh, deep down in Florida
Well, that's the place I long to be
Well, oh, let me take my baby out in the backyard
Out in the backyard people
And sit down under the old orange tree
