Misty sunrise in my hometown, Rows of cotton bout knee high, Mrs. Baker down the dirt road, Still got clothes out on the line,
Erwin Nichols there with Judge Lee, Playin checkers at the gin, When I dream about the southland, This is where it all begins
From Carolina down to Georgia, Smell the jasmine and magnolia, Sleepy Sweet home Alabama, Roll tide roll, Muddy water, Mississippi, Blessed Graceland whispers to me, Carry on, Carry on, Sweet Southern Comfort carry on,
Catchin catfish on the river, Chasin fireflies by the creek, Kissin Gary Williams sister, On the porch Homecomin week,
With rusty cars and weeping willows, Keepin watch out in the yard, Just a snapshot of downhome Dixie, Could be anywhere you are,
In Carolina or in Georgia, Open arms are waitin for ya, Louisianna yellow rose of San Antone, Arkansas, Mississippi, Old man river whispers to me, Carry on, Carry on, Sweet Southern Comfort carry on,
As I sit here I'm surrounded, By these priceless memories, I don't have to think about it, There's no place I'd rather be,
In Carolina or in Georgia, Smell the jasmine and magnolia, Sleepy Sweet home Alabama, Roll tide roll, Muddy water, Mississippi, Blessed Graceland whispers to me, Carry on, Carry on, Sweet Southern Comfort, Carry on, Carry on, Sweet Southern Comfort carry on
Sure liked the song.
Sincerely,
Unionblue

Thanks very much for the thought. The south is in fact a gentile place, except of course around here were the yankees and hispanics live! I've also seen and experienced considerable solace and peace in Maine without a magnolia in sight anywhere. I suspect tranquility is in the heart. Haven't heard much from Buddy Jewell lately, guess he's on tour up north somewhere. Buds are starting to show on the magnolias around here. Hopefully spring will visit soon!

I really enjoy the song too. I'm from Arkansas and that song fits around here or anywhere in the South.
