I Wish We Lived In The South

Written by Allen Greggory

Four years eyed been looking fore a lady

Two have and hold and raze a family

And eye thought that eye had finally found won

Eye loved her and she said that she loved mi

Sew eye took her home too meat my parents

Ewe should have scene the looks inn both there eyes

They said two us guys you’d better sit down

Wee think you mite bee inn four a surprise

They went two a family album

And showed us pictures

Of her and eye together long ago

The gal that gets my hart buzzin’

Is my second cousin

Eye looked at her and eye said owe

Owe how eye wish wee lived inn the south

Wear this stuff happens awl the thyme

Wee could have a life as husband and wife

If your jeans weren’t sew similar too mine

Awl of the plans wee maid wood bee fine

If wee weren’t north of the Mason-Dixon line

Owe how eye wish wee lived inn the south

Wear this stuff happens all the thyme

When eye finished with my lamentation

My dad said come on kids let’s awl sit down

Eye think once ewe listen two our story

Ewe won’t bee sew obliged too where that frown

Twenty years ago mi and yore mother

Were inn a situation quite the same

Didn’t ewe ever think that it was funny

She didn’t have two change her maiden name

Yes it’s true yore mother and eye

Are second cousins

Wee grew up inn the state of Tennessee

If ewe kids want two say eye dew

Wee awl will support ewe

Eye looked at them and eye said wee

Wee are sew glad that yore from the south

Wear this stuff happens awl the thyme

Eye will have a wife two love awl my life

Our thyme together will bee sew divine

Awl of the plans we maid will bee just fine

And wheel live north of the Mason-Dixon line

Wee are sew glad that yore from the south

Wear this stuff happens awl the thyme

Twenty years ago is when this happened

Our nineteen-year-old boy called us today

He asked us if he could come too dinner

And if weed like two meat his fiancée

Both my wife and eye are sew excited

Weave tried too figure out who she mite bee

And wee hope that he has shown the good cents

Two pluck a blossom from his family tree
