I Believe the South Is Gonna Rise Again - Tanya Tucker

作词：B. Braddock

作曲：B. Braddock

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 forty-four

Our neighbors in the big house called us redneck

Cause we lived in a poor sharecropper shack

The Jackson's down the road were poor like we were

But our skin was white and their 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 skyscarpers where dirty rundown shack stood once before

I see sons and daughter and sharecroppers but they're not pickin' 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

I believe the south is gonna rise again I believe the south is gonna rise again
