Lucky Mud - Southern Mama lyrics



Oh, the Southern mama's just got to be strong
'Cause the Southern daddy dies 'fore too long
Working the pulp wood every day
Makes his life kinda' slip away
Mama keeps to herself all the tears she's cried
She knows daddy loved her 'til the day he died
So she tries to raise the kids as best she can
Happy she was married to a damned good man

CHORUS: All the way from the banks of the Withlacoochee
To a share cropper's shack up in Tennessee
You see the lady with the sad eyes trying
To find food and clothes for the family
Oh, the Southern Mama's just got to be strong
'Cause the Southern daddy dies 'fore too long

Then the sun is rising, it's another day
She's got work to do, she's got bills to pay
But late in the evening she can rest a spell
And laugh at the jokes that the children tell
Yeah, the South's got beauty and the South's got soul
But it ain't got silver and it ain't got gold

CHORUS:
