Southern Boys (Remastered)

Southern Boys - 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 pain

Cause the feeling's worth the fall

Buttered grits is fare for breakfast

And if you like and your aim is good maybe a squirrel

Then around nine we pop that moonshine

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

Swing with me your Northern girl

I get knocked right off my feet

When I hear that Southern drawl

And I don't mind the pain

Cause the feeling's worth the fall

Were you born Where do you come from

Is your tropic in Cancer and 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

And I don't mind the pain

Cause the feeling's worth the fall

And don't extend your hand

Cause I couldn't move at all
