I Hear The South Calling Me
By Hank Thompson
G
I hear the south calling me
C G
I've been away much to long
C G
Mason Dixon fevers won't leave me alone
A7 D7
The only cure I know for sure is a one way ticket home
G
Watermelons ripe on the vine
C G
Catfish a nibbling on my line
C
Slow southern draws
G A7
And home made alcohol
D7 G
I hear the south calling me
I hear the south calling me
C G
I've been away much to long
C G
Big city blues sure got my soul
A7
Keep it country bars and steel guitars
D7
And a Dixie rock and roll
G
I've had those New York satins on
C G
I've had my feel of it all
C G
This time I fell for some sweet southern bell
D7 G
I hear the south calling me
D7 G
I hear the south calling me
