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 shit

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 live in my own mood beneath my feet alone

Didn't have a dime to ride the blinds to 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 let 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 the 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
