Well, the train to Grinder’s Switch is runnin’ right on time
And them Tucker Boys are cookin’ down in Caroline
People down in Florida can’t be still
When ol’ Lynyrd Skynyrd’s pickin’ down in Jacksonville
People down in Georgia come from near and far
To hear Richard Betts pickin’ on that red guitar

So gather ’round, gather ’round chillun’
Get down, well just get down chillun’
Get loud, well you can be loud and be proud
Well you can be proud, hear now
Be proud you’re a rebel
‘Cause the South’s gonna do it again and again

Elvin Bishop sittin’ on a bale of hay
He ain’t good lookin’, but he sure can play
And there’s ZZ Top and you can’t forget
That old brother Willie’s gettin’ soakin’ wet
And all the good people down in Tennessee
Are diggin’ Barefoot Jerry and C.D.B

So gather ’round, gather ’round chillun’
Get down, well just get down chillun’
Get loud, well you can be loud and be proud
Well you can be proud, hear now
Be proud you’re a rebel
‘Cause the South’s gonna do it again and again
