Lyrics
The Southern mama's just got to be strong
'Cause the Southern daddy
Dies before too long
Working the pulpwood every day
Makes his life kind of slip away
Mama keeps to herself
All the tears she's cried
She knows daddy loved her
'Til the day he died
So she tries to raise the kids
As best she can
Happy she was married
To a damned good man
*CHORUS*
*All the way from the banks
Of the Withlacoochee
To a sharecropper's shack
Up in Tennessee
You can see the lady
With the sad eyes trying
To find food and clothes
For the family,
Yeah, the Southern mama's
Just got to be strong
'Cause the Southern daddy
Dies before too long*
Then the sun is rising
It's another day
She's got work to do
She's got bills to pay
But late in the evening
She can rest a spell
And laugh at the jokes
That the children tell
The South's got beauty
And the South's got soul
But it ain't got silver
And it ain't got gold
*CHORUS*
