Florida Bound Blues |
| Goodbye, North. |
| Hello, South |
| Goodbye, North. |
| Hello, South |
| It’s so cold up here that the words freeze in your mouth |
| I’m going to Florida where I can have my fun |
| I’m going to Florida where I can have my fun |
| Where I can lay out in the green grass and look up at the sun |
| Hey, hey, red cap, help me with this load |
| Red cap porter, help me with this load |
| Spoken: |
| Help us out |
| Hold that steamboat, Mr. Captain, let me get on board |
| I got a letter from my daddy. |
| He bought me a sweet piece of land |
| I got a letter from my daddy. |
| He bought me a small piece of ground |
| You can’t blame me for leaving, Lord, I mean I’m Florida bound |
| My papa told me, my mama told me too |
| My papa told me, my mama told me too |
| Don’t let them bell bottom britches make a fool out of you |
