Bleu Edmondson - To Love The Language lyrics

I is just what I was And am ain't who I be To love the language You got to be born On the banks of the Mississippi At ya ex one talks in tongues Say: "never more neither me" To love the language You got to be born On the banks of the Mississippi Stayin' by my mamas In slippers and pyjamas Where there's always something good to eat Beddin' strawberries Honey and cherries And pecan pie oh so sweet With a dew-rag on my brow Jasmine, wysteria and fleur-de-lis To love the language You got to be born On the banks of the Mississippi Stayin' by my mamas In slippers and pyjamas Where there's always something good to eat Beddin' strawberries Honey and cherries And pecan pie oh so sweet If you won't work for a livin' And live life leisurely Pull up a screen porch Flop out in a rockin' chair To love the language You got to be born On the banks of the Mississippi What I've said now
