Lyrics

When the dark night starts fallin'
And the moon starts to roam
What is this thing that keeps callin'?
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 won;
I wanna say goodbye to darkness
Spend all my days in the sun!
Let me laugh there on that levee
And let me burn black as coal!
I know my heart won't be so heavy
With the south, south in my soul!
Written by: Lee Wiley, Ned Washington, Victor Young
