My Many Hurried Southern Trips Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

(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
