There's Something Nice About The South 1917 "Dance and Grow Thin"

I've been a travelling chap,
travelled all over the map;
from London to Jamaica,
where they make the ginger snap.
I've seen America though
right down to Kalamazoo
and talking 'bout America
let me say to you,

There's something nice about the South,
a paradise is 'way down South,
it seems that nowadays
they love to sing its praise,
a song of Dixie lingers in ev'ry singers mouth.
There's something sweet about their ways,
The girls you meet are oh! so diff'rent,
Tennessee, Florida, Alabam'
fav'rite children of Uncle Sam,
there's something nice about the South.
