Phil Harris - That's What I Like About The South Lyrics
Won't you come with me to AlabamyLet's go see my dear old mammyShe's frying eggs and broilin' hammyThat's what I like about the southNow there you can make no mistakyWhere those? never shakyOught to taste her layer cakeyThat's what I like about the southShe's got big ribs and candied yamsOh, sugar cured Virginia hamsBasements full of those berry jamsAnd that's what I like about the southHot cornbread and black-eyed peasYou can eat as much as you please'Cause it's never out of seasonThat's what I like about the southAh, don't take one, have twoThey're bark brown and chocolate tooSuits me they must suit you'Cause that's what I like about the southIt's a way way down where the cane grows tallDown where they say "you all"Walk on in with that southern drawl'Cause that's what I like about the southSit down where they have those pretty queens keep a dreamin'Those dreamy dreamsWell let's sip that absinthe in New OrleansAnd that's what I like about the southHere come ole Bob with all the newsGot the box back coat and the button shoesWell he's all caught up with his union duesAnd that's what I like about the southHere come ole Roy down the streetHo, can't you hear those coupla feetHe would rather SleepAnd tha tha tha that's what I like about the southNow every time I pass your doorYou act like you don't want me no moreWhy don't you shake your head and sighAnd I'll go walkin' right on byGone on, on and on and onHoney when you tell me that you love meThen how come you close your eyesDid I tell you about the place called Do-I-DittyIt ain't no town and it ain't no cityIt's just awful small but awful prettyWith Do-I-DittyI didn't come here to critisizeI'm not here to sympathizeBut don't call me those no good liesCause a lying gal I do despiseYou love me like I love youSend me fifty PDQRoses are red and violets are pinkI'll get that good ole fifty I don't thinkShe's got back bones and buttered beansHam hocks and turnip greensYou and me in New OleansAnd that's what I like about the south
