Takes a southern woman to sing this southern song Takes a southern woman to sing this southern song Lord I'm worried now but I won't be worried long When I was downtown I wouldn't take no one's advice When I was downtown I wouldn't take no one's advice But I ain't going to let that same bee sting me twice Because I'm going back where the weather suits my clothes Because I'm going back where the weather suits my clothes Down where there ain't no snow and the chilly winds never blow I don't want no northerner no northern black or brown I don't want no northerner no northern black or brown Southern men will stick by you when the northern men can't be found You ever been south you know just what I mean You ever been south you know just what I mean Southern men are all the same from Kentucky to New Orleans I'm going back south where I can get my hambone boiled I'm going back south where I can get my hambone boiled These northern men are about to let my poor hambone spoil
