Southern Boys (1971 Version, NYC)

Southern Boys (1971 Version, NYC) - Kate & Anna McGarrigle

Southern boys are warm and lovely

They speak gently of their homes

And show you pictures of the folks

Their breath in your ear is as soft as the cotton

Whether they're wooing

Or whispering the latest racist joke

I get knocked right off my feet

When I hear that southern drawl

And I don't mind the heart

'Cause the feeling's worth the fall

Buttered grits is fare for breakfast

And if you like and if your like is good

Maybe while squirrel

Then around nine we pop that moonshine

And it's on out to the porch for a moonlight

Swing that brave boy are there

I get knocked right off my feet

When I hear that southern drawl

And I don't has the falter

'Cause the feeling's worth the fall

Were you born where do you come from

Is your tropic in cancer is your sun sign divine

Ah let it out please don't hide it

All that good ol' stuff down below that mason dixon line

I get knocked right off my feet

When I hear that southern drawl

While I don't mind the heart

'Cause the feeling's worth the fall

And don't extend your hand

'Cause I couldn't move at all
