Текст песни 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 hurt
'Cause the feeling's worth the fall
Buttered grits is fare for breakfast
And if you like and your like is good, maybe wild squirrel
Then around nine we tap that moonshine
And it's out on to the porch for a moonlight swing with your favorite boy or girl
I get knocked right off my feet
When I hear that southern drawl
And don't ask me if I hurt
'Cause the feeling's worth the fall
Were you born or where do you come from
Is your tropic in cancer and is your sun sign divine?
Oh let it out, oh 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 hurt
'Cause the feeling's worth the fall
And don't extend your hand
'Cause I couldn't move at all
