Tonart: E major
Verse 1
the wild geese fly
I'm takin' my chances
on the sunny side
I'm headed down south where
the grass grows tall
Where the mockingbirds singing
and the whippoorwill calls
Verse 2
A
Spanish moss on the Natchez Trace
Gulf wind blowin' wide across my face
French girls dancin' to a big bang drum
E
Back down south where I come from
Verse 3
A
Where the river flows like warm molasses
Rain fogs up my readin' glasses
Honey suckle strong enough to curl
E
Your hair back down there
Verse 4
E
One fine mornin', gonna pull up stakes
I'm gonna chalk it all up
as just a bad mistake
Gonna hit the decks runnin'
bid a fond farewell
By the time I get to Memphis
Verse 5
I'll be outta my shell
A
Cotton fields just as white as snow
Sweet magnolia blossoms grow
Big moon shinin' like an ice cream cone
E
Back down south where I belong
A
Where the river flows like milk and honey
Verse 6
The nights are slow and the eggs are runny
I wouldn't mind sittin' in a rockin'
A
E
Jewel of the south cross my heart,
shut my mouth
B
I'll be home in the sweet Delta dawn

Verse 7
E
One fine mornin' and it won't be long
I'm leavin' put early
with my glad rags on
I'm gonna pull a load of wool
off of my own two eyes
And sharpen my senses
countin' railroad ties
A
When the mile long trestle makes
Verse 8
A
a clickity- clack
The whole dang town is gonna
welcome me back
Ticket to the land of the sugar cane back
E
Down on the Pontchartrain
Verse 9
A
Where the river flows like
a grand mariner
Sweet olive takes my breath away
Sunday mornin' walkin' on the
E
Jackson Square back down there
A
E
Jewel of the south cross my heart,
shut my mouth
B
E
I'll be home in the sweet Delta dawn
B
I'll be home in the sweet Delta dawn
