Way down south, you oughta see the women shimmy and shake
I say, away down south, you oughta see the women shimmy and shake
Got a new way to wiggle, make a weak man break his neck
Pure fat meat and greens and I mean that they really can cook
Pure fat meat and greens and I mean that they really can cook
Makin' jelly roll, and I mean it's out the book
I was down south and full of my whiskey cup
And when I was down south, full of my whiskey cup
Just lookin' at them women makes me want to get my gage up
Southern women, man, they's hard to beat
I said Southern women sure is hard to beat
Ain't so easy to get along with but, Lord, so sweet
I'm goin' down South and I believe I'll take my hook
Well, I'm goin' down South and I believe I'll carry my hook
I'm gon' angle and fish these Southern women just to declare it's out the book
Me and my sugar, soppin' out the bowl
I said me and my sugar, soppin' out the bowl
I would go to fishin', mama. I done broke my pole
