South Wind

Well, I know I don't have to be told
That the north wind is chilly and cold
Well, I know far from the south wind I ran
Now, I'm a lost and lonely man, well, I know
Had a little girl but she left me
Had a little girl but she left me, well, I know
She took the sun and left me the rain
And left me the sorrow and all of the pain
Well, I know, she took my love and left me torn
Now, I'm lonely and forlorn, well, I know
All of my love done left me
All of my love done left me, well, I know
She told me someday she'd return
If the sun should freeze or the earth should burn
Well, I know but now she's gone and in the sky
The wind alone can hear me cry, well, I know
Had a little girl but she left me
Had a little girl but she left me, well, I know
