Hank Thompson - I Hear the South Callin' Me lyrics

I hear the south callin' me I've been away much too long Mason Dixon fever won't leave me alone The only cure I know for sure is a one way ticket home Watermelon ripe on the vine Catfish are nibbling on my line Slow southern drawls and homemade alcohol I hear the south callin' me [ guitar - piano ] I hear the south callin' me I've been away much too long Big city blues sure got my soul Give me country bars and steel guitars and Dixie rock & roll I've had those New York satin dolls I've had my fill of it all It's time I feel for some sweet southern belle I hear the south callin' me I hear the south callin' me I hear the south callin' me
