The Boswell Sisters - One of the Best Jazzsingers Ever

Got the South In My Soul

When the dark night starts falling
And the moon starts to roam
What is this thing that keeps calling?
It's the south in my soul

How I long for that delta
It's my home, it's my goal
Oughta be safe in its shelter
Got the south in my soul

Too long I've lingered in the darkness
No matter what I've won
I wanna say goodbye to darkness
Spend all my days in the sun

Let me lie on that levee
Let me burn black as coal
I know my heart won't be heavy
Got the south in my soul
