I done pack my belong
ย
Gonna leave my woes
Goin' to a better place
With a smile upon my face
When that steam boat blows
And that gulf stream flows
You'll hear me say goodbye
Because there's a reason why
The Gulf of Mexico
Flows in to the Mobile Bay
The Gulf of Mexico
Flows in to the Mobile Bay
ย
I'm gonna let that cool stream of water
Flow over my head someday
ย
Tell me mister mailman
What is on your mind?
ย
Tell me mister mailman
What is on your mind?
If you pass my door
So glad you obliged
ย
My eyes are brown
My teeth are pearly white
My eyes are brown
My teeth are pearly white
ย
Because my skin is dark
Don't mean my heart ain't right
