Lyrics
Lost my love in Southern Georgia
Lost the love of Shirley B
Broke her heart jus’ once too offen
Now my darlin’s gone from me
Whatcha gonna do when your baby leaves ya? Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when your baby leaves you? Whatcha gonna do?
When she says her last goodbye, oh you’re gonna hang your head and cry
Whatcha gonna do when your baby leaves ya? Whatcha gonna do?
Your eyes will cry ’till they start burnin’, yes they will
Your eyes will cry ’till they start burnin’, yes they will
Like a white-hot fire from a fiery furnace, shoot out flames Lord a-flames to burn her
Whatcha gonna do when your baby leaves ya? Whatcha gonna do?
I told you a story, please believe me, ’cause it’s true
I told you a story, please believe me, ’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
