Tanya Tucker - I Believe the South Is Gonna Rise Again lyrics

[Tanya Tucker - I Believe the South Is Gonna Rise Again 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
