Takin' my bucket down to the South Gonna fill it up with mem'ries, bring it on back Takin' my bucket down to the South Gonna fill it up with mem'ries, bring it on back Takin' my bucket down to the South Gonna fill it up with mem'ries, bring it on back Takin' my bucket down to the South Gonna fill it up with mem'ries, bring it on back
The squeakin' of a screen door and the callin' of a sweet voice Granma's back in Tennessee, cookin' up somethin' nice I can hear her scold me for the good girl that I should be Wish that she could hold me on this cold and rainy night
The bayin' of an old hound, well it takes me to my hometown Years have brought my heart down, but my soul was born to fly My Granpa taught the righteous, he taught the love of Jesus All the Earth would someday be a kingdom paradise
He's singin' "I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away" If you ever live your childhood over, take me back to Tennessee I'll fly away
And I'm takin' my bucket down to the South Gonna fill it up with mem'ries, bring it on back Takin' my bucket down to the South Gonna fill it up with mem'ries, bring it on back Takin' my bucket down to the South Gonna fill it up with mem'ries, bring it on back Takin' my bucket down to the South Gonna fill it up with mem'ries, bring it on back
Now my Aunt Ina loved me, and with a Southern drawl she called me We'd gather in the family and be singin' old folk songs
