Summer's gone and wintertime's a comin'

And where I am ain't where I wanna be

I can hear my southern home a callin'

It's calling out the old wide goose and me.



Flyin', flyin' south to Dixie

Lord I been so lonesome and alone

Stayin' ain't no use to cause heart and old wild goose

And tomorrow I'll be flyin' south and home.



--- Instrumental ---



I've got kids and kin down in Kentucky

I've got lots of aunts in Alabam

Moma waitin' down in Mississippi

And my sist's in Carolina's honey land.



Grandma and grandpa's down in Georgia

And my uncle's down in Tennessee

There's a little love for south there in my heart

And honey in the south is where I wanna be.



Flyin', flyin' south to Dixie

Lord I been so lonesome and alone

Stayin' ain't no use to cause heart and old wild goose

And tomorrow I'll be flyin' south and home.



Flyin', flyin' south to Dixie

Lord I been so lonesome and alone

Stayin' ain't no use to cause heart and old wild goose

And tomorrow I'll be flyin' south and home.



And tomorrow I'll be flyin' south and home...
