Rockin' on the front porch
Gazin' down the street
Loathsomely fannin'
Away the Southern Heat

Oppressed hands
Pickin' the days toils
Balmy and wet
Southern Heat never spoils

Whisky bottles bourbon brown
Deep fired and syrupy sweet
Vices to die for
Welcomin' Southern Heat

Clothes pinned on a line
Flappin' in dense air
Mamma starched ‘em stiff
The Southern Heat dressed debonair


There is a trouble around
It smile’s with a firm handshake
Jesus in Confederate Grey
The Southern Heat for the Devils sake
