Now You've Gone And Hurt My Southern Pride

Now You've Gone And Hurt My Southern Pride

I didn't mind you tellin me I was as tacky as a man could be
I reckoned you were justified
But I never thought you'd promenade to and fro with the carriage trade
Now you've gone and hurt my southern pride.
When you took my honey suckle vine over the Mason Dixon line
I didn't take it teary eyed
But I never thought I'd ever tag you with a yankee scalawag
Now you've gone and hurt my Southern Pride

Saucy prissy; bossy missy
Sashaying all around as if you owned the town
Playin possum; my little magnolia blossom
You'd better mend your ways; settle down
Well shut my mouth and fan my brow, havin a heap of wearies now
I hope that you are satisfied
Oh I never thought the day would arrive
When my honey would be in a new bee hive
Now you've gone and hurt my southern pride

I'm feelin kind of poorly; I'm feelin mighty blue
Plumb tuckered out with worry; Cause me and my sweetness are through

When you showed up dressed in northern blue, down at the Colonel's barbarque
I didn't run off terrified
But you broke my favorite jullip glass and hid my batch of sassafrass
So now you've gone and hurt my Southern pride
I didn't mind the time you came close to callin me a dirty name
I didn't try to tan your hide
But I never thought you'd have the gall pokin fun at my Dixie drawl
And now you've gone and hurt my southern pride

You're saucy you're prissy and you're bossy and missy
Sashayin all around as if you owned the town
Playin possum; my little magnolia blossom
You'd better mend your ways; settle down

When pappy said you'd take my dough waste it away and off you'd go
I got right up and took your side
But you headed north when the moon was low
With the money I stole from the Benny Show
And now you've gone and hurt my southern pride
