Lyrics Roy Orbison

Roy Orbison

(I'm A) Southern Man

Send me a pan of corn bread with some turnip greens on the side

And if you really want to mess with my head give me anything southern fried

Give me some faded blue jeans and a pair of old cowboy boots

and I'm gonna tell you where I come from tell you somethin about my roots

I'm a southern man, I'm a southern man,

I'm a southern man, [spoken] I'm a southern man

Send me a woman to love me with a lot of meat on her bones

There's something about a big lady I just can't leave em alone

I'd like to take her down to the river go skinny dippin in the night

Aint nothin like being with my lady and makin love in the pale moon light

Cause I'm a southern man, a hah ah

I'm a southern man, I'm a southern Man, southern man, I'm a southern man

Give me that soulful music it sure makes me feel so nice

So I can do the alligator and get it on every Saturday night

Give me that Southern Comfort, give me Annie Greensprings wine

Take me on down to the bayou and I'll sure have a real good time

I'm a southern man

I'm a southern man

I'm a southern man

I'm a southern man...
