Well my mama was a rebel my daddy was a Yankee  They got together made a little hanky panky  My blood runs north and south  Like the mighty Mississippi  Yankee doodle dandy and I sang Dixie    I'm a little different, I'm a little odd  You can't blame me it was by the grace of god  He brought my folks together, two birds of a different feather  Six wees later a honeymoon, nine months later a delivery room    Well my mama was a rebel my daddy was a Yankee  They got together made a little hanky panky  My blood runs north and south  Like the mighty Mississippi  Yankee doodle dandy and I sang Dixie    Momma said slow down and daddy said hurry  They raised me just north of Missouri  She called it coke, he called it pop  We eat our sweet potatoes with noodles on top    Well my mama was a rebel my daddy was a Yankee  They got together made a little hanky panky  My blood runs north and south  Like the mighty Mississippi  Yankee doodle dandy and I sang Dixie    Rib eye steak and a bowl full of grits  Mama through a party and daddy through a fit  She's shootn''' moonshine and daddy drinks beer  Daddy he run the kin folk off mama said ya'll come back now you hear    Well my mama was a rebel my daddy was a Yankee  They got together made a little hanky panky  My blood runs north and south  Like the mighty Mississippi  Yankee doodle dandy and I sang Dixie    Well my mama was a rebel  Yeah my mama was a rebel
