It's An Old Southern Custom Lyrics

It's an old Southern custom When you're walking down the street To bid everyone 'good morning' Don't you think that's kind of sweet? It's an old Southern custom To politely lift your hat When you pass a pretty stranger Is there anything wrong in that? If a lady meets a gentleman As they did in days colonial And the lady and the gentleman Have intentions matrimonial If they must be together Every morning, noon and night There's a good old Southern custom That makes everything all right
