The Prince of Dixie
Gentlemen come from all over. This hub is about those who hail from the south.
He's the handsome Prince of Dixie
a sultan of the south
a drawl like thick molasses
tumbles from his mouth
born among the mighty oaks
and pine trees tall and proud
he always minds his manners
is rarely brash or loud
He knows the ten commandments
He also knows Jim Beam
and for some doe eyed southern girl
his eye contains a gleam
you may find his manner easy
but there is this to tell
if provoked sufficiently
he's known to fight like hell
he'll always kiss his mama
and call his father sir
and though he wouldn't speak of it
he longs for things that were
he'll march boldly toward the future
but won't forget his past
because a southern gentleman
is made of things that last
and if the world were perfect
though that will not be true
all men would be a Dixie prince
not just a chosen few.

Thank you. I’ll correct it.

A spelling error slipped into the text about southern gentlemen:
it says "bodly" where it should read "boldly." As a long-term
translator, I have to proof my work and saw this, as I often
also catch myself in typing slips. Thought you would like
to know. Best wishes.
