first met you in a southern town
on a warm November day
you made me smoke like a whirlwind
I knew we had nothing to say
love me but don't try and make me stay
southern woman
take my soul but don't you take my life
southern woman
make me feel good but don't you tell my wife
[guitar solo]
once again in the early spring
I touched your raven's crown
your wild eyed stories of rare delight
like to knock me down
it's getting so damn hard to put you down
southern woman
take my soul but don't you take my life
southern woman
make me feel good but don't you tell my wife
[instrumental solos]
southern woman
take my soul but don't you take my life
southern woman
make me feel good but don't you tell my wife
southern woman
take my soul but don't you take my life
southern woman
make me feel good but don't you tell my wife
southern woman
yeah
Babe, I'm leaving, I must be on my way
The time is drawing near
My train is going, I see it in your eyes
The love, the need, your tears
But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
And I'll be missing you.
You know it's you Babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you Babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true
Babe, I love you.
You know it's you Babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you Babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true
Babe, I love you.
Babe, I'm leaving, I'll say it once again
Somehow try to smile
I know the feeling we're trying to forget
If only for a while
But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
And I'll be missing you
Babe, I love you.
