[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
One fine morning when the wild geese fly
E
I'm taking my chances on the sunny side
E
I'm headed down south where the grass grows tall
E
Where the mockingbirds singing and the whippoorwill calls
A
Spanish moss on the Natchez Trace gulf wind blowing wide across my face
A E
French girls dancing to a big bang drum back down south where I come from
A
Where the river flows like warm molasses rain fogs up my reading glasses
A E
Honey suckle strong enough to curl your hair back down there
[Verse 2]
E
One fine morning gonna pull up stakes
E
I'm gonna chalk it all up as just a bad mistake
E
I'm gonna hit the decks runnin' bid a fond farewell
E
By the time I get to Memphis I'll be outta my shell
A
Cottonfields just as white as snow sweet Magnolia blossoms grow
A E
Big moon shinin' like an ice cream cone back down south where I belong
A
Where the river flows like milk and honey
A
The nights are slow and the eggs are runny
A E
I wouldn't mind sittin' in a rocking chair back down there
[Chorus]
A E
Jewel of the south cross my heart shut my mouth
A B E
Come the morning I'll be home in the sweet Delta dawn
[Instrumental]
A E B E
[Verse 3]
E
One fine morning and it won't be long
E
I'm leaving out early with my glad rags on
E
I'm gonna pull a load of wool off of my own two eyes
E
And sharpen my senses countin' railroad ties
A
When the mile long trestle makes a clickity-clack
A
The whole dang town is gonna welcome me back
A E
Take me to the land of the sugar cane back down on the Ponchartrain
A
Where the river flows like a grand mariner
