Going Down South
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm going down south, I'm going down south
Going down south, I'm going down south
Chilly wind don't blow
I'm going with you babe, I'm going with you babe
Going with you babe, I'm going with you babe
Don't care where you go
Some other man, some other man
Some other man, some other man
He's always hanging around
I'd rather be dead, rather be dead
Rather be dead, I'd rather be dead
Six feet in the ground
I'm going down south, going down south
Going down south, I'm going down south
Chilly wind don't blow
