Southern Politician Lyrics

Momma had such high hopes for her favorite sun
He'd be an evangelist of God or maybe even president
He was such a diplomat with so mush southern charm
But when he grow up he outgrowed all his friends
He was a southern politician, a political man.

He sips mint juleps on evenings so warm
He converses with the devil who wears a hat made of straw
Saying : 'A smart-assed northern liberal was something I never could stand'
While they might take an inch, he takes all that he can
He's a southern politician, a political man.

He's a southern politician set on winning these here election
Inside his big white plantation
All the liquor and women that money can buy
All the liquor and women that money can buy.

The folks down here believe in his cause
His hands are clean and his vest pockets the law
'Cause his brother the sheriff is head of the Klan
Well the states locked up tight in the palm of his hand
He's a southern politician, a political man.

All 'round the big house painted white
An electrical fence that's strung with barbed wire
He's got guard dogs, shot guns and homemade pecan pie
Friends come to swim, he gets a tan
He's a southern politician, a political man.

He's a southern politician set on winning these here election
Inside his big white plantation
All the liquor and women that money can buy
All the liquor and women that money can buy.

There's cocktail parties every night
Now his wife she don't love him but don't pay her no mind
And the smell of sweet gardenias always fill the air
Well they've black bodies floating in the bayou down there
He's a southern politician, a political man.

He's kissing babies at campaign time
He's making promises like they're going out of style
Loves every woman, child and American man
Says he's religious, just a God-fearing man

He's a southern politician set on winning these here election
Inside his big white plantation
All the liquor and women that money can buy
All the liquor and women that money can buy.

He's a southern politician, a political man
He's a southern politician, a political man
He's a southern politician, a political man
Oh he's a southern politician, a political man
Ooh he's a southern politician, a political man
Yes sir, He's a southern politician, a political man
Yes sir, He's a southern politician, a political man
Ah-ah-ah-ah ...
