Lyrics
SOUTHERN BELLE © T. ELY 2024
SHE SAID MY NAME IS ANNABELLE BUT MOST FOLKS CALL ME BELLE
IN A VOICE AS SWEET AS HONEYSUCKLE
FLOATIN' ON A SUMMER BREEZE SMELLS
DEEP INSIDE I FELT A LIGHT TURN ON
SOMEHOW I KNEW SHE'D BE MY ONE AND ONLY ONE
[CRS] SHE'S MY SOUTHERN BELLE
NATURAL AS BLUE JEANS
WITH A DRAWL SO DEEP AND SWEET
YOU CAN DIP A BISCUIT IN IT
SHE'S GOT THAT SOUTHERN CHARM
FRESH-PICKED FROM THE FARM
AND A SMILE SO BRIGHT AND WARM
YOU'D SWEAR THE SUN HAD LIT IT
IS IT ANY WONDER WHY I FELL
FOR MY SOUTHERN BELLE
RIGHT FROM THE START HER DADDY NEVER CARED MUCH FOR ME
SAID I WAS NOTHIN' BUT A NO-GOOD REBEL HICK HAYSEED
I (FINALLY) GOT THE NERVE TO ASK HIM FOR HER HAND
HE LOOKED ME IN THE EYE SAID BOY YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND
(CRS)
[2nd CRS CHANGES]:
(SHE'S MY PRECIOUS SOUTHERN BELLE...
AND YOU BETTER KNOW I WON'T BE TAKIN' IT WELL
IF YOU HURT MY SOUTHERN BELLE)
[BRIDGE]
TWO YEARS AGO WE HAD A BABY DAUGHTER, SPITTIN' IMAGE OF HER MOM
AND, WHEN THEY ASK ME ALL ABOUT HER, HERE'S WHAT I TELL EVERYONE
...I'M TELLIN' EVERYONE
[CHORUS]
(SHE'S MY LITTLE SOUTHERN BELLE...)
