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' And it's callin' out that old wide goose and me I got kids and kin down in Kentucky I got lots of aunts in Alabam Mom's a waitin' down in Mississippi and my sist's in Carolina's honey land Flyin' flyin' south to Dixie Lord I've been so lonesome and alone Stayin' ain't no use because my heart's an old wild goose And so tomorrow I'll be flyin' south for home [ guitar - fiddle ] Grandma and grandpa's down in Georgia And my sweetheart's down in Tennessee There's a little part of all the southland in my heart And honey in the south is where I wanna be 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' And it's callin' out that old wide goose and me Flyin' flyin' south to Dixie... And tomorrow I'll be flyin' south for home
