Southwind I need a forty-dollar ticket And about this time tomorrow I'll be gone Southwind But if I had forty dollars I would by myself a smile to carry on And you go whoooo-wooo-hoo She's gone again on the Southwind. Southwind Take her fast and take her far 'Cause that's the way she always likes to go Southwind I will be waitin' for the round trip If you'll bring her back and I done told her so Don't you go whoooo-wooo-hoo She's gone again on the Southwind.
