Southern Gals 1917

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 12 Mar 2003

I've just come back from the South today
and there is one thing I'd like to say
tho' I've been most ev'rywhere
I've never seen such gals
as they have down there.
It seems that each little peach you see
is just as sweet as a peach can be
tho' I can't describe them all to you
let me name you just a few.

There's Mary down in Maryland,
she's mighty pretty.
And sweet Virginia too,
she'll make a hit with you.
You'll go dippy over Mississippi
and the gals named Caroline.
They're birds of a feather
so they flock together
and believe me they're just fine.
Then there's Lucy Anna
with naughty eyes,
and a peach named Georgia
who takes the prize.
So if you get lonesome any time,
come across the Mason Dixon line,
and I'll introduce you to
those Southern Gals.

There's Mary down in Maryland,
she's mighty pretty.
And sweet Virginia too,
she'll make a hit with you.
You'll go dippy over Mississippi
and the gals named Caroline.
They're birds of a feather
so they flock together
and believe me they're just fine.
Then there's Lucy Anna
with naughty eyes,
and a peach named Georgia
who takes the prize.
So if you get lonesome any time,
come across the Mason Dixon line,
and I'll introduce you to
those Southern Gals.

I kind of wish I'd have stay'd down there
it's not so much that I need the air
but it's true and plain to see
those little southern gals
made a hit with me.
And when I march to the wedding tune
I've got a hunch I'll be marching soon.
When you see my bride you'll understand
why I'm stuck on Dixieland

There's Mary down in Maryland,
she's mighty pretty.
And sweet Virginia too,
she'll make a hit with you.
You'll go dippy over Mississippi
and the gals named Caroline.
They're birds of a feather
so they flock together
and believe me they're just fine.
Then there's Lucy Anna
with naughty eyes,
and a peach named Georgia
who takes the prize.
So if you get lonesome any time,
come across the Mason Dixon line,
and I'll introduce you to
