Chorus
If you ever get south of Cinc innati
down where the dogwood trees grow
If you ever get south of the Maso n Dixon
to the home you left so long a go
If you ever get south of the Ohi o River
down where Dixieland begins
If you ever get south of Cinc innati
I?ll be yours again .

And a rose pressed inside the Book of Luke
For fourteen years she?d write each day bu t keep it hidden
Refused to even speak h is name, but still she wrote:
Chorus
If you ever.....
[INSTRUMENTAL, SAME AS CHORUS]
At a cold gray apartment in C hicago
A cigarette drowns inside a glass of gin
He lies there drun k but it don?t matter drunk or sober
He?ll never read the words that pride won?t let her send
Chorus
If you ever.....
Then I?ll be yours again
