Florida Bound by Edward Thompson

Edward Thompson - Florida Bound; E position, standard tuning.

I'm going to Florida, where I can have my fun

Lay down in the green grass, look up at the sun

Said, "Mr. Redcap porter, help me with my load."

"Redcap porter, help me with my load."

"Told your steamboat captain, let me get on board."

Got a letter from my daddy, bought me a piece of ground

Letter from my daddy, bought me a piece of ground

You can't blame for leaving, Lord, I'm Florida bound

If your home in Florida, what in the world you doing up here?

Home in Florida, what you doing up here?

Oh, where will you be this time another year?

My mama told me, papa told me, too

Mama told me, papa told me, too

Don't let them bell-bottoms make no fool of you
