[1] How can women up in the city
Be so cold and look so pretty .
The sweetest love I've ever known
Are them bare foot country girls I left back home
Uptown women come on strong
They don't want you once your money's all gone
They don't care a thing about your hopes and your dreams
They just tear your heart apart at the seams
THE CHORUS:
I need a lady with that sweet southern soul
Warm as Dixie when the nights get cold
A heart as pure and good as Sunday School gold
I love those ladies with that sweet southern soul
[2] Lovely ladies out on the coast
With bodies burning warm as toast
They hold you in their arms
Tell you those sweet lies
But you can't see through the stars in their eyes
THE CHORUS:
I need a lady with that sweet southern soul
Warm as Dixie when the nights get cold
A heart as pure and good as Sunday School gold
I love those ladies with that sweet southern soul
REPEAT CHORUS:
I need a lady with that sweet southern soul
Warm as Dixie when the nights get cold
A heart as pure and good as Sunday School gold
I love those ladies with that sweet southern soul
TAG: Give me a lady with that sweet southern soul
