God Save the South Lyrics

It was a red hot night night in Mobile

Sweat glistened on the reverend's chin

His mohair suit was shinin'

He told us all about sin

It could be wall to wall in Wall Street

We could be livin' hand to mouth

Jesus loved a yankee

But God saved the south

Across the street in the pool hall

Bubba put the eight ball down

It's a high five celebration

They passed the Jack around

It's wall to wall in Wall Street

We're livin' hand to mouth

Jesus loved a yankee

But God saved the south

God saved the south

Yankee boy shut your mouth

Yes, God saved the south

Yankee boy shut your mouth

Shut your mouth

Some long haired boys with guitars

Playin' behind the chicken wire

They're goin' up to New York City

Gonna sing about Atlanta's fire

It could be wall to wall in Wall Street

We could be livin' hand to mouth

Jesus loved a yankee

But God saved the south

And God saved the south

Yankee boy shut your mouth

Yes, God saved the south

Yankee boy shut your mouth

Yes, God saved the south

Yankee boy shut your mouth

And God saved the south

So,Yankee boy shut your mouth

And God saved the south

Yankee boy shut your mouth

Yes, God saved the south

So, Yankee boy shut your mouth

God saved the south

So, Yankee boy shut your mouth
