Down South in Old Tennessee
by Joe Crawford Mrazek
"'Preciate you," they sometimes
say down in Dixie, where y'all
bend vowels like the lower
Mississippi, where y'all
drop g's like damned
Yankee dollars circa
Eighteen Hundred and
Sixty-One, see?
It's friendly,
traditional,
Nashville -
the Southland.
Ya gotta fit in
somehow everywhere
anyway, don't ya?
So start drawlin' if you
feel so inclined, mister.
Soften & stretch your
voice, ma'am.
Take it easy:
rest a spell.
