That's What I Like About The South
Recorded by Bob Wills
Written by Andy Razaf

C
Let’s go back to Alabamy 
F                        C
Let's go see my dear old mammy
F                             C    
She's frying eggs and cooking hammy
           G7                    C
Say that's what I like about the South


There you won’t make no mistakey 
F                         C
And your nerves are never shaky
F                        C
You just taste her layer cakey
           G7                    C
Say that's what I like about the South


She's got baked ribs and candied yams
F                    C
Sugar cured Virginia hams
F                            C 
Basement full of those berry jams
           G7                    C
And that's what I like about the South


Corn bread and turnip greens
F                    C
Ham hocks and butter beans
F                      C
Mardi Gras down in New Orleans
       G7                    C
That's what I like about the South


Way down where the cane grows tall
F                       C 
Down where they say you all
F                             C
Walk on in with that Southern drawl
             G7                    C
Cause that's what I like about the South


That place down there called Doo-wah-diddy
F                                C 
It ain't no town and it ain't no city
F                  C
Me oh my it sho is pretty
       G7      C 
That's Doo-wah-diddy

Now every time I pass your door
F                                 C
You act like you don't want me no more
F                                 C
Why don't you shake that head and sigh
            G7                C
And I'll go trucking right on by


I ain’t here to sympathize 
F                   C 
And I'm not here to criticize 
F                           C
Don't tell me those no-good lies
  G7             C
A lying gal I do despise
