Letra de To love the language

I is just what I was
And am ain´t who I be
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the mississippi

Ax´ ya x what talks in tongues
Say: never mo´ neither me
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the mississippi

Stayin by my mama´s
In slippers and pajamas
Where there´s always somethin good to eat
Bettin strawberries
Honey and cherries
And pecan-pies oh so sweet

With a dew-rag on my brow
Jasmine, wysteria and fleur-de-lis
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the mississippi

If you won´t work fo´ a livin
And live life leisurely
Pull up a screen po-ch
Flop out in a rockin chair
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the mississippi
