G
[Verse 1]
F7 Eb7 Ab
Southern boys are warm and lovely
Ab7 G7
They speak gently of their homes and show you pictures of the folks
F7 Eb7 Ab
Their breath in your ear is as soft as the cotton
Fm Eb D7 G
Whether they’re wooing or whispering the latest racist joke
[Chorus]
C G7
I get knocked right off my feet
C G7
When I hear that Southern drawl
C G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
C G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Am E7
And I don’t mind the pain
Am C D7 G
‘Cause the feeling’s worth the fall
[Verse 2]
F7 Eb7 Ab
Buttered grits is fare for breakfast
Ab7 G7
And if you like and your aim is good, maybe a squirrel
F7 Eb7 Ab
Then around nine, we pass that moonshine
Fm Eb D7 G
And it’s on out to the porch for a moonlight swing with me your Northern girl
[Chorus]
C G7
I get knocked right off my feet
C G7
When I hear that Southern drawl
C G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
C G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Am E7
And I don’t mind the pain
Am C D7
‘Cause the feeling’s worth the fall
[Verse 3]
G F7 Eb7 Ab
Were you born? Oh, where do you come from?
Ab7 G7
Is your tropic in Cancer and is your sun sign divine?
F7 Eb7 Ab
Oh, let it out, oh, please don’t hide it
Fm Eb D7 G
All that good ol’ stuff down below that Mason-Dixon Line
[Chorus]
C G7
I get knocked right off my feet
C G7
When I hear that Southern drawl
Am E7
And I don’t mind the pain
Am C G7
‘Cause the feeling’s worth the fall
C G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
C G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Am E7
And don’t extend your hand
Am C
‘Cause I couldn’t move at all
