In The Bible Belt
“Brothers and sisters, we are gathered here this evening to give
thanks to the Lord for this great country in which we live – the U.S.of A!
And especially those states of which we are so proud, below the Mason Dixon Line – the Southland!”
Down here inKentucky
We count ourselves real lucky
There’s over a hundred churches in which I’ve knelt
We’ve kept the black folks down
Since General Lee was around
And life’s been good down here in the Bible Belt.
Down south in Louisiana
And across in Alabama
We’ve made the most off the hand that we’ve been dealt
The church is well attended
Segregation never ended
And we’re all doing fine in the Bible Belt
In Georgia and the Carolinas
You may say we’re hardliners
We were never afraid to show the way we felt
We support The Ku-Klux Klan
In any way we can
It’s great being white down in the Bible Belt.
Keeping the coloureds down
Whether black or brown
Hypocrisy’s scent is very often smelt
But being down here is fine
Below theMason-Dixon Line
If you’re white, the living’s good in the Bible Belt.
