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..
