Southern Slang - Danny Wooten

Southern Slang Lyrics

Well bein’ from the South, I never could tell
They said I had an accent it was funny as hell
I never paid no mind to what no one had to say
Until I met my wife down from Michigan state
My baby tried to make me talka, real right
She said that when I spoke, Man I didn’t sound bright
From the mighty Mason Dixon all the way down South…Funny little words are comin out of their mouths, I said Dang, DANG, Talkin bout that old Southern Slang…I said Dang,DANG, Oooooh the unforgettable twang.
I traveled to the North on a cold Winters eve
To meet my new inlaws that I had to see
Her mama looked at me with a wide open grin I said “How y’all doin now I guess that were kin….She said dang, DANG.. Talkin bout that old Southern Slang…I said Dang,DANG, Oooooh the unforgettable twang.
Her Daddy looked at me and he had his doubts
His daughter with a man who came from the South. I pulled out a jug of my daddy’s corn squeeze…(PAUSE)…In 2 full glasses he was talkin’ like me..He said dang, DANG.. Talkin bout that old Southern Slang…I said Dang,DANG, Oooooh the unforgettable twang.
