Charlie Daniels Band, The - The South's Gonna Do It (Again) Lyrics






Well, the train to Grinder's Switch is runnin' right on time
And them Tucker Boys are cookin' down in Caroline
People down in Florida can't be still
When ol' Lynyrd Skynyrd's pickin' down in Jacksonville
People down in Georgia come from near and far
To hear Richard Betts pickin' on that red guitar

[Chorus:]
So gather 'round, gather 'round chillun'
Get down, well just get down chillun'
Get loud, well you can be loud and be proud
Well you can be proud, hear now
Be proud you're a rebel
'Cause the South's gonna do it again and again

Elvin Bishop sittin' on a bale of hay
He ain't good lookin', but he sure can play
And there's ZZ Top and you can't forget
That old brother Willie's gettin' soakin' wet
And all the good people down in Tennessee
Are diggin' Barefoot Jerry and C.D.B

[Chorus]
So gather 'round, gather 'round chillun'
Get down, well just get down chillun'
Get loud, well you can be loud and be proud
Well you can be proud, hear now
Be proud you're a rebel
'Cause the South's gonna do it again and again

  68. J.... G....

    Black and spent my early years in the north and the rest in the south. Consider myself a southerner. Racism is everywhere you go but (1) the only integrated neighborhoods I lived in were in the south and (2) it wasn’t considered unusual to see black doctors, lawyers etc. in the south for white folks even 30 years ago it (albeit serving segregated neighborhoods). No place is perfect but I think, because whites and blacks have had more time to see the diversity of each, the south is more tolerant (on an individual level) than the north

  69. F.... F....

    I may be a leftist atheist, but I'm also Southern. This jam has always filled my soul. ;)

  70. T.... B....

    best states in the union: florida, alabama, mississippi-the blessed trinity

  75. f.... ....

    Charlie is a fucking legend

  76. L.... P....

    I'm a Tar Heel born, I'm a Tar Heel bred and when I die I'll be a Tar Heel dead. Was a 20something when CDB was cranking out hits....the Southern bands were hell raisin' and taking over the country....all the names mentioned were great to listen to as you drove your truck down through the woods to the favorite swimming hole, beer and your sawed off shotgun(for the snakes)....typical Sunday 30-40 folks there..fire burning, swimming in cutt-offs, bathing suits and even some birthday suits..great place..now it's fenced off for "safety reasons"....when they put up a fence or a sign it takes a freedom young folks...tell 'em to take them down....and shove 'em....raise hell..love God..family and friends...have fun in life....

  95. C.... ....

    Southern California boy born & raised, sidewalk stomper, beach comber, mountain climber etc but my Okie mama & daddy were by products of the South with both sets of grandparents from Arkansas. I grew up on Southern heritage, eating corn bread, okra, black eyed peas, collards, Polk salad, and turnip greens, we read the Bible, took it literally, gave our hearts to Jesus, our backs to our work and the job, gave our love to our family, friends and neighbors, true to our spouses, lovefootball, baseball, mom & apple pie, Chevy's & Fords, fishing down at the lake, shootin' & huntin', C&W and R&R on the radio, we had Hank Williams Merle Haggard, & Charlie Pride's records on the stereo, Creedence, the Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd on 8-Track, cruising the streets at night, just good old boys never meaning no harm, not hating anyone for the color of their skin, treatin' folks by the Golden Rule, doin' unto others like we want to be done unto, respectin' folks, lendin' a helpin' hand to whomever, little children crossin' the streets, little old ladies comin' out of the store, helpin' load their groceries, opening doors for the old guy behind you, tip our hats to the ladies, we say grace and we say Ma'am, lotta please and Thank you's and you're welcome and bless y'all and we fight anyone who disrespects our country, our folks, our wives & kids, our dogs or cats, our our vehicle or our home. We didn't litter the streets, we didn't knock mail boxes with bats or toilet paper folks houses or any of that nonsense. We just tried to live and let live. I left CA years ago but I still have fond memories of my upbringing and trips I made to OK and the great south ie NC, SC, GA, TN etc. I love the South and Southern people! I still have my rebel flags even though my mama's folks were Indian. They had 'em because they were treated better in the South than they were in the North! It aint about hate - it's about Heritage! It's about Tradition and it's about Freedom and being Independant something these nawthaners will never understand. They all wanna free ride from the GOVT and we all just wanna make our own way and everyone stay the hell out of our business.

  96. S.... S....

    This is my all-time favorite Charlie Daniels song.

  97. S.... V....

    Wow they're goooooood! I only knew The devil went down to Georgia from them, but that's only the beginning! Bravo for the Charlie Daniel's Band from Greece!!!!

  98. D.... R....

    be Proud,Arizona is 4 hrs to another country from phoenix,,be proud the south will rise again.
