Say oh-oh-whoa-oh-whoa, I love me a Southern man, mmm

Back in the day I heard an old woman say (I heard an old woman say)

Aint nothing like an Southern man (Nothing like a southern man )

I asked her how she could tell 'em apart?

She put her hand right on her heart

"By the way that he wears his pants" (It's by the way that he wears his pants, yeah)

Now she was talking in riddles so deep

I thought she was talking bout his jeans

Till Mr. Charlie walked up with a smile on his face

And now I see just what she mean

That man got a smooth walk, he kinda growl when he talk

Aint shy to no hard work, he love his momma, and he go to church

He don't care if them kids is his, he gone raise 'em like they is

It's hard to find one but if you can , you better get you a Southern man

That woman was so proud

With that man on her arm

Had me trying chase 'em down

All over town to see if he had a son

She said, "Charlie ain't perfect, he just a man"

"But he's everything I need"

And now I want nothing other than a smooth Southern brother

That's head over heels for me

I took that woman at her word

And now I'm happy as can be

And if you listen to what we're saying to you

You'll see just what we mean

A Southern man got a smooth walk, he kinda growl when he talk

Ain't shy to no hard work, he loves his momma, and he go to church

Don't care if them kids is his (No, no), 'Cause he gon' raise 'em like they is (Like they is)

It's hard to find one but if you can, you better get you a Southern man

Now say oh-oh-whoa-oh-whoa (Oh-oh-whoa)

I love me a Southern man (My Southern man)

Mm, yes, I do
