North vs South The war between the states didn't end. In the north, we say Hello, in the south it's howdy. In the north, we say you can go down the road a little way. In the south, it's down a road a piece. In the north, it's potatoes. In the south, it's taters. In the north, it's turn off the lights. In the south cut the lights off. And the best one yet is. In the north, It's goodbye see you later. In the south it's see you all later and you all come back now you hear.
