Lyrics
Hot Here In The South
Fresh tomatoes in the summer, sweet potatoes in the fall.
Mamma cooking in the kitchen, sure don?t help this heat at all.
Sunday dinners always chicken. Fresh hot biscuits on the side.
A fan to cool the summer kitchen. Life down here is southern fried.
Chorus:
It?s always hot, and gettin? hotter. Might as well just hush your mouth.
Don?t waste good prayer, praying for cool weather.
It?s always hot here in the South.
All the old men sit and whittle, gather round beneath the shade.
Troubles melt from big to little. Folks down here have got it made.
Girls in dresses made of cotton, cling like gauze against the skin.
Make my thoughts go good to rotten, man it?s hot down here again.
Chorus:
It?s always hot, and getting? hotter. Might as well just hush your mouth.
Don?t waste good prayer, praying for cool weather.
It?s always hot here in the south.
Summer breeze blows through mimosas trees.
Twelve long months and not much chance of freeze, a couple of weeks, ain?t it hot as hell.
Winter is just a short cool spell.
Tag:
It sure is hot here in the south.
