I’m Going Where The Chilly Winds Don’t Blow

[Verse 1]
There was a man down in my town
[?]
He killed his wife, they give him life
And he won't be back no more
'Cause he's gone where the chilly winds don't blow

[Chorus]
Oh, he's gone where the chilly winds don't blow
And he won't be back here anymore
Now these young men, as a rule, always act a doggone fool
'Cause he's gone where the chilly winds don't blow

[Verse 2]
Now a friend of mine went downtown
To take a walk and look
A lady passеd close to him
He snatched hеr pocketbook
'Cause he's gone where the chilly winds don't blow

[Chorus]
Oh, he's gone where the chilly winds don't blow
And he won't be back here anymore
He had no one to go his bail, so they locked him up in jail
Now he's gone where the chilly winds don't blow

[Verse 3]
I didn't pay my rent last week
So they put me right outdoors
I'm going to make my exit
Where the weather suits my clothes
'Cause I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm goin' where the chilly winds don't blow
And I won't be back here anymore
I'm all in out and down, so I'm bound to leave this town
'Cause I'm goin' where the chilly winds don't blow

[Verse 4]
Now the judge told me to catch the train
That soon would come along
"You turn me loose, I'll catch the one just gone"
'Cause I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow
And I won't be back here anymore
Just as sure as my name is Bill, get off the train in Jacksonville
Then I'll be down where the chilly winds don't blow
