Magnolia Blues

I followed you into the blue and north into the cold
You led me off my land, you led me far from home
I tried to be the kind of girl who never needed share
I gave you all my light and I got naught to show for it
I’m going back South
Down to Carolina
I’m gonna plant myself
Under a magnolia
I’m gonna let that dirt
Do its work
I’m gonna plant myself
Under a magnolia, a magnolia
Magnolia, a magnolia, a magnolia
I may leave and buy a move I need my feet alone
Didn’t have a dime to ride the blinds and lead me back to home
I asked the conductor, «Sir, won’t you let me ride?»
He said, «Baby girl, this ain’t my world, train ain’t nothing of mine»
I’m going back South
Down to Carolina
I’m gonna plant myself
Under a magnolia
I’m gonna lt that dirt
Do its work
I’m gonna plant myself
Under a magnolia, a magnolia
Magnolia, a magnolia, a magnolia
Ooh, it’s something in th air tonight, something in the air tonight
Ooh, it’s something in the air tonight, something in the air tonight
Ooh, it’s something in the air tonight, something in the air tonight
I’m going back South
Down to Carolina
I’m gonna plant myself
Under a magnolia
I’m gonna let that dirt
Do its work
I’m gonna plant myself
Under a magnolia, a magnolia
Magnolia, a magnolia, a magnolia
