I found this unusual old footage from the Late Johnny Cash show:

 

 

 

 

Don`t it make you want to go home?
Don`t it make you want to go home?
All God`s children get weary when they roam
Don`t it make you want to go home?
Don`t it make you want to go home?

Oh, the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole
And the Georgia sun goes down
Well, it`s been a long, long time
but I`m glad to say that I am
Goin` back to my home town

Goin` down to the Greyhound station
Gonna buy me a one-way fare
And if the good Lord`s willin` and the creeks don`t rise
By tomorrow I`m gonna be there

Don`t it make you want to go home?
Don`t it make you want to go home?
All God`s children get weary when they roam
Don`t it make you want to go home?
Don`t it make you want to go home?

But there`s a six-lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny-dippin` as a child

And a drive-in show where the meadows used to grow
And the strawberries used to grow wild

There`s a drag strip down by the riverside
Where my grandma`s cow used to graze
Now the grass don`t grow and the river don`t flow
Like it did in my childhood days

Don`t it make you wanna go home?
Don`t it make you wanna go home?
All God`s children get weary when they roam
Don`t it make you wanna, wanna go home?

Joe South (born Joseph Alfred Souter, 28 February 1940, in Atlanta, Georgia) is a Grammy Award winning American singer-songwriter with a distinctive guitar sound.

 Career

South had several hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s with songs such as "Don't It Make You Wanna Go Home" and "Walk a Mile in My Shoes". His biggest and most remembered single was "Games People Play" (1968), a Top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic. It won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Song, the Grammy Award for Song of the Year,

 

South's most commercially successful composition is Lynn Anderson's 1971 country/pop monster hit "(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden", which was a hit in 16 countries worldwide. Lynn Anderson won a Grammy Award for her vocals and South won a Grammy Award for writing the song. South would go on to write more hits for Anderson such as, "How Can I Unlove You" (Billboard #1) and "Fool Me" (Billboard #3).

South was also a prominent sideman, recording the memorable guitar part on Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools", Tommy Roe's "Sheila" as well as appearing on Bob Dylan's album Blonde on Blonde. He also played the electric guitar part that was added to Simon & Garfunkel's first hit, "The Sound of Silence".

The suicide of his brother, Tommy, drove South into a deep depression. Tommy had been his backing band's drummer and accompanied South not only in live performances, but also on recording sessions when South produced hits for other artists,

South was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1979.

 

In 1994 South played several concerts in England.

On 13 September 2003 South was inducted into Georgia Music Hall of Fame, and played together with Buddy Buie, J.R. Cobb and Chips Moman at the induction ceremony.
