It was a red hot night night in mobile   Sweat glistened on the reverend's chin   His mohair suit was shinin'      He told us all about sin      It could be wall to wall in wall street   We could be livin' hand to mouth   Jesus loved a yankee   But God saved the south      Across the street in the pool hall   Bubba put the eight ball down   It's a high five celebration   They passed the jack around      It's wall to wall in wall street   We're livin' hand to mouth   Jesus loved a yankee   But God saved the south      God saved the south   Yankee boy shut your mouth   Yes, God saved the south   Yankee boy shut your mouth   Shut your mouth      Some long haired boys with guitars   Playin' behind the chicken wire   They're goin' up to new york city   Gonna sing about atlanta's fire      It could be wall to wall in wall street   We could be livin' hand to mouth   Jesus loved a yankee   But God saved the south      And God saved the south   Yankee boy shut your mouth   Yes, God saved the south   Yankee boy shut your mouth      Yes, God saved the south   Yankee boy shut your mouth   And God saved the south   So,yankee boy shut your mouth      And God saved the south   Yankee boy shut your mouth   Yes, God saved the south   So, yankee boy shut your mouth      God saved the south   So, yankee boy shut your mouth
