Southern Love Songtext
von Ronnie Hawkins and The Hawks

Lost my love in Southern Georgia
Lost the love of Shirley B
Broke her heart just once to Auburn
Now my darlin′s gone from me

What you gonna do when your baby leaves you?
What you gonna do? (What you gonna do?)
What you gonna do when your baby leaves you?
What you gonna do? (What you gonna do?)
When she says her last goodbye
Oh, you're gonna hang your head and cry
What you gonna do when your baby leaves you?
What you gonna do? (What you gonna do?)


Your eyes will cry, they start burnin′
Yes they will (Yes they will)
Your eyes will cry, they start burnin'
Yes they will (Yes they will)
Like a white hot fire from a fiery furnace
Shoot out flames, Lord, flames to burn us
What you gonna do when your baby leaves you?
What you gonna do? (What you gonna do?)

I told you a story, please believe me
'Cause it′s true (′Cause it's true)
Told you a story, please believe me
′Cause it's true (′Cause it's true)
I broke the heart of the one I love
Now she′s gone, my Southern love
Oh, she's gone, yes, she's gone, my Southern love

(Southern love) Southern love
(Southern love) Southern love
(Southern love) Southern love
(Southern love) Southern love
