It's The Same Old South (12-13-40)

It's The Same Old South (12-13-40) - Count Basie (考特.貝西)

It's the same old South

It's a regular children's heaven

Where they don't start to work until their seven

It's the same old South

It's the same old South

With those old fashioned get togethers

Colonel pass me the tar and feathers

It's the same old South

There's no gate to stop you

When you stopped off to bid the folks hello

There's no gate to stop you

Cause it dropped off 20 or 30 years ago

Honey shut my mouth

Let the Northerners keep Niagra

We'll stick to our Southern polygra

It's the same old South

There's no gate to stop you

When you stopped off to bid the folks hello

There's no gate to stop you

Cause it dropped off 20 or 30 years ago

Honey shut my mouth

While the bloodhounds that once chased Liza

Chased a poor CIO organizer

It's the same old South
