We, Southerners, are always known for our sayings and speech. I hope you enjoy these. WHERE THE SOUTH BEGINS Down where the sun is always shining, Where poverty clouds have a silver lining, Where there's chicken and cornbread at every dining, That's where the South begins. Down where the Knighthood's still in flower, Where we marry for love, without a dower, Where money is useful, but not a power, That's where the South begins. Down where the latchstring's outside the door, Where a friend's a friend whether rich or poor, Where we trace our ancestry back to Noah, That's where the South begins.
