That's What I Like About The South
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let's go down to Alabama
Let's go see my dear old mama
Fryin' eggs and cookin' hammy
That's what I like about the South
She's got baked ribs and candied yams
Sugar-cured Virginia hams
Basement full of those berry jams
And that's what I like about the South
[ fiddle ]
Ham hocks and turnip greens
Hog jolls and butter beans
Mardi Gras down in New Orleans
That's what I like about the South
Down where the trees grow tall
Where everybody says y'all
Walk on in with that Southern drawl
And that's what I like about the South
Here comes old Parson with all the news
Boxback coat and button shoes
All paid up with his union dues
That's what I like about the South
Did I tell you about the place called Doo-wah-diddy
But it ain't no town and it ain't no city
It's awful small but it's mighty pretty
Doo-wah-diddy
[ piano ]
Well I'm not here to criticise
I'm not here to sympathise
But don't tell me them no good lies
Cause a lyin' gal like you can devise
Every time I pass your door
You act like you don't want me no more
You just raise your head and sigh
Well I'm gonna trackin' right on by
That's what I like about the South
