The southern scent The Dew in the mist The bayou still The skies enterprising will The moon shining a beautiful smile The environment being right while Under the Magnolia tree Romance kisses Oh that southern atmosphere Caress between The summer heat adding to the warmth Passion with power Hour after hour The plantation being the backdrop A Southern Belle doesnβt want that night to stop It was time reflecting in tell In the distance, one heard the ringing of a church bell Yet nearby, there was a drinking well It was that old magnolia tree A southern memory back It was real Itβs no longer a secret, but it becomes my life back being my seal.
