I Believe The South Is Gonna Rise Again - Tanya Tucker

I don't own this song or the picture in it.

Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Mama never had a flower garden
'Cause cotton grew right up to our front door
Daddy never went on a vacation
He died a tired old man at fourty four

Our neighbors in the big house called us redneck
'Cause we lived in a poor share-croppers shack
The Jacksons down the road were poor like we were
But our skin was white and theirs was black

But I believe the south is gonna rise again
But not the way we thought it would back then
I mean everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again

I see wooded parks and big skyscrapers
Where dirty rundown shacks stood once before
I see sons and daughters of share-croppers
But they're not picking cotton anymore

But more important I see human kindness
As we forget the bad and keep the good
A brand new breeze is blowing 'cross the southland
And I see a brand new kind of brotherhood

Yes I believe the south is gonna rise again
Oh, but not the way we thought it would back then
I mean everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I believe the south is gonna rise again

I so love Tanya's singing She was awesome when she was young but now She is even better Her vocals have seasoned and sound so much better than when she was younger She is to me Queen of country music

beautiful song with wonderful american sentiments. upbeat and patriotic focusing on the important things that we share and giving up the b.s. that divides us and oppresses us and each other in squalid stupid battles that leave us all enslaved. too bad it did not catch on better when it came out. Thank you for posting.
