Deep in the Heart of the South lyrics

Oh cover me with this deep south

While the wind is cronnin lullabies

Talk me into paradise

Somewhere deep in the heart of the South

Yellow moon is hangin' low

Over fields of cotton white as snow

My heart longs to turn it gold

Somewhere deep in the heart of the South

Laughter fills the afternoon

And every evening lovers linger on the Swanee shores

I can see Magnolias bloom around the cabin door

And that's where I'm goin', sure as your born

I'm a weary rollin' stone

made my mind up and I'm goin' home

Come on seed and start to grow

Somewhere deep in the heart of the South

Laughter fills the afternoon

And every evening lovers linger on the Swanee shores

I can see Magnolias bloom around the cabin door

And that's where I'm goin', sure as your born

I'm a weary rollin' stone

Nade my mind up and I'm goin' home

Come on feet and start to roam!

Somewhere deep in the heart of the South

Hey come on feet and do your stuff

The way is long and the road is rough

Somewhere deep in the heart of the South
