I'm going down to that station, catch the fastest train that goes
I'm going back south, the weather out there suits my clothes
I'm going down south if I wear out ninety-nine pair of shoes
I'm broken hearted - I got those down south blues
Well your love's like water, baby, it goes off and on
Just when I think that I got you, you turn it off, you're gone
I'm going down south if I wear ninety-nine pair of shoes
I'm broken hearted - I got those down south blues
My mama told me, my daddy told me too
Don't you go off honey, let those men make a fool outta you
I'm going down south if I wear out ninety-nine pair of shoes
I'm broken hearted - I got those down south blues
Well I come from the country, where the snow it never fell
Well i'm going back south, boy, if I don't do so well
I'm going down south if I wear ninety-nine pair of shoes
I'm broken hearted - I got those down south blues
I'm going down south if I wear out ninety-nine pair of shoes
I'm broken hearted - I got those down south blues
I'm going down south if I wear ninety-nine pair of shoes
I'm broken hearted - I got those down south blues
