An azure sky, a warm brown face, Soft black eyes and a dazzling mouth, A red bandanna, touched with gold-- And this is the color, 'way down South. A bird that plays on a mocking flute, A melting drawl from a smiling mouth, A tinkling banjo hid in the shade -- And this is the music, 'way down South.
