Southern Politician

Mark Knopfler


Southern Politician
(Willy DeVille)

Momma had such high hopes for her favourite son
He'd be an evangelist of God or maybe even president
He was such the diplomat with so much southern charm
But when he growed up he outgrowed all his friends
He was a southern politician a political man

He sips mint juleps on evenings so warm
He converses with the devil who wears a hat made of straw
Saying "A smart-assed northern liberal was something I never could stand"
While they might take an inch he takes all he can
He's a southern politician a political man

He's a southern politician set on winning this here election
Inside his big white plantation
All the liquor and women that money can buy
All the liquor and women that money can buy

The folks down here believe in his cause
His hands are clean ans his vest pockets the law
'Cos his brother the sheriff is head of the klan
Well the states locked up tight in the palm of his hand
He's a southern politician a political man

All round the big house painted white
An electrical fence that's strung with barbed wire
He's got guard dogs, shot guns and homemade pecan pie
Friends come to swim he gets a tan
He's a southern politician a political man

He's a southern politician man set on winning this here election
Inside his big white plantation
All the liquor and women that money can buy
All the liquor and women that money can buy

There's cocktail parties every night
Now his wife she don't love him but don't pay her no mind
The smell of sweet gardenias always fill the air
Well they've black bodies floating in the bayou down there
He's a southern politician a political man

He's kissing babies at campaign time
He's making promises like they're going out of style
Loves every woman child and American man
Says he's religious just a God-fearing man
He's a southern politician a political man

He's a southern politician
Set on winning this here election
Inside his big white plantation
All the liquor and women that money can buy
All the liquor and women that money can buy
