I've got a Southern drawl
I talk so very slow
I use words like "ya'll"
though other words I know

Some say my voice sounds sweet
others say it's sophisticated
I think it's kinda neat
this drawl the South created

I was born in Alabama
Florida's where I grew up though
I talk kinda like my Mama
definite Southern roots I show

"Where you from", folks ask me
when my drawl they hear
I just say I'm from the South, you see,
'cause both states are sort of near

Both states show "Southern hospitality",
All the South has this fine trait
We may talk with certain originality
but, I've learned to think it's great

Us folks down here have lots of fun
a lot of happy people are found
Often asked is "Have you heard a good one?"
lots of jokes always going around

Our jokes you ought to hear
they would be real funny to ya'll
You'd grin from ear to ear
hearing 'em told with a Southern drawl
*~~~*

Revisited for fun.....

Somehow i had the feeling as if it was a song text, it kinda ran softly through smile.

Nice.

Lived in Md. all my life. Went to the Un. of North Alabama in 1975. Came home with the southern drawl. I'm a very hyper person. Have to admit the south slowed me down. This is a good thing.

born and raised in PA myself...but personally believe the south is the best place to live...and hopefully will get there for retirement...probably a rest home...with wheel chair races every Saturday at noon. hehehhehhhe
I love the south, their laid back patience, sense of humor and home cooking...and that southern drawl is most attractive...smiles and hugs and good good morning to ya

Thanks for the many smiles

Me too Ethel!!!! Though mine has faded some over the years. But when I'm back down South, it seems to come back pretty strong. Thanks for the morning smile!!!

LOL This is awesome, garysgirl. Some of my northern friends make fun of my drawl, but I know they're just jealous that they don't have that southern twang.

(smiles) Oh Ethel, I grew up in southeastern Missouri and Tennessee a lot as a little boy and my family comes from the south and though I don't have much of an accent at all, my r's and d's have that twang, hehehe! (giggles) This is soooooooo cute, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
