That's What I Like About the South - Crystal Gayle

Take me back to Alabamy

Take me to see my dear old Granny

Fryin' eggs and cookin' hammy

That’s what I like about the South

There you can make no mistakey

And your nerves are never shaky

I used to taste that layer cakey

That’s what I like about the South

She’s got baked beans and candied yams

Sugar-cubed Virginia hams

Cellar full of those berry jams

That’s what I like about the South

I like corn bread and burned beans

Ham hots and turnip greens

Party grind down at New Orleans

That’s what I like about the South

You can poise on with all the news

Bought bear coat and brought down shoes

I’ll tie it up as you can do

And that’s what I like about the South

There’s a place down south called

An old town and it ain’t no city

It’s pretty, sure it’s pretty

Take me back to Alabamy

Take me to see my dear old Granny

Fryin' eggs and cookin' hammy

That’s what I like about the South
