Wagoner Porter - My Many Hurried Southern Trips lyrics

(Attention please Southbound bus loading Gate No 8

All aboard for Willow Springs Taboule Rogersville Paskanaw Ravanden

Belaford Johnsborro Marktree and Memphis all aboard South all aboard please)

I drive for the bus line to all points south I drive

Guess I've heard a million stories from the folks that ride

Have your tickets ready please and don't forget to check your grid

And I'm a leavin' on another one of my hurried southern trips

These big wheels roll in the heat and the cold

When the thunder and the lightenin' whips

And the folks that ride got a reason to ride on a hurried southern trips

With a tear filled eyes a young girl got on board at Willow Springs

She was bearing child and I didn't see a ring

I'm on my way to Memphis she said through trembling lips

At the unwed mother's home I'll end up my hurried southern trip

A man stepped aboard in Memphis said do you remember me

I rode here with you to Luthportworth in 1953

And I've been in prison all these years cause I made one bad slip

And I took him home to Rogersville on a hurried southern trip

These big wheels roll in...

A soldier boy said hello Joe it's been a long long time

Do you still make a special stop and the Shannon County Line

It wasn't long till we were there to meet the folks he'd missed

Tears of joy filled every eye on that hurried southern trip

These big wheels roll in...

(We will change buses here ladies and gentlemen for all point stops

Be sure that you conform your reservation be sure to check your baggage and babies
