Song of the South by Alabama



Song, song of the south

Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth

Gone, gone with the wind

There ain't nobody looking back again



Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch

We all picked the cotton but we never got rich

Daddy was a veteran, a southern democrat

They oughta get a rich man to vote like that



Sing it...



Song, song of the south

Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth

Gone, gone with the wind

There ain't nobody looking back again



Well somebody told us Wall Street fell

But we were so poor that we couldn't tell

Cotton was short and the weeds were tall

But Mr. Roosevelt's a gonna save us all



Well momma got sick and daddy got down

The county got the farm and they moved to town

Pappa got a job with the TVA

He bought a washing machine and then a Chevrolet



Sing it...

Small Town Southern Man - Alan Jackson



watch it here:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUhaqUHGeQU



read it here:



Born the middle son of a farmer

And a small town Southern man

Like his daddy's daddy before him

Brought up workin' on the land

Fell in love with a small town woman

And they married up and settled down

Natural way of life if you're lucky

For a small town Southern man



First there came four pretty daughters

For this small town Southern man

Then a few years later came another

A boy, he wasn't planned

Seven people livin' all together

In a house built with his own hands

Little words with love and understandin'

From a small town Southern man



Chorus:

And he bowed his head to Jesus

And he stood for Uncle Sam

And he only loved one woman

(He) was always proud of what he had

He said his greatest contribution

Is the ones you leave behind

Raised on the ways and gentle kindness

Of a small town Southern man

(Raised on the ways and gentle kindness)

(Of a small town Southern man)



Callous hands told the story

For this small town Southern man

He gave it all to keep it all together

And keep his family on his land

Like his daddy, years wore out his body

Made it hard just to walk and stand

You can break the back

But you can't break the spirit

Of a small town Southern man



(Repeat Chorus)



Finally death came callin'

For this small town Southern man

He said it's alright 'cause I see angels

And they got me by the hand

Don't you cry, and don't you worry

I'm blessed, and I know I am

'Cause God has a place in Heaven

For a small town Southern man



(Repeat Chorus)

Answer 3

Hold me Like the River Jordan And I will then say to thee You are my pal Carry me Like you're my brother Love me like a mom Will you be there Oh, love Weary Tell me, will you keep me When unsuitable will you scold me When misplaced will you uncover me But they instructed me A guy will have to be faithfull And stroll whilst no longer in a position And combat 'til the tip But I'm simplest human Michael Jackson "Will you be there" Ill Sing it to the Mirror Or wait is it Man within the Mirror Nah Ill sing that once.
