It was a red hot night night in Mobile

Sweat glistened on the reverend's chin

His mohair suit was shinin'



He told us all about sin



It could be wall to wall in Wall Street

We could be livin' hand to mouth

Jesus loved a yankee

But God saved the south



Across the street in the pool hall

Bubba put the eight ball down

It's a high five celebration

They passed the Jack around



It's wall to wall in Wall Street

We're livin' hand to mouth

Jesus loved a yankee

But God saved the south



God saved the south

Yankee boy shut your mouth

Yes, God saved the south

Yankee boy shut your mouth

Shut your mouth



Some long haired boys with guitars

Playin' behind the chicken wire

They're goin' up to New York City

Gonna sing about Atlanta's fire



It could be wall to wall in Wall Street

We could be livin' hand to mouth

Jesus loved a yankee

But God saved the south



And God saved the south

Yankee boy shut your mouth

Yes, God saved the south

Yankee boy shut your mouth



Yes, God saved the south

Yankee boy shut your mouth

And God saved the south

So,Yankee boy shut your mouth



And God saved the south

Yankee boy shut your mouth

Yes, God saved the south

So, Yankee boy shut your mouth



God saved the south

So, Yankee boy shut your mouth
