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
