When I say y'all
I'm not being selfish
When I say y'all
I'm thinking of you all.
It's a word that happily greets
It's a contraction that says many things
It's a word some people hate
They just can't relate
What follows the word is what matters
The same for the preceding
Down here in the south
It's used at every meeting.
It's kind of like fixin' or yon't to
The leader of them all
Ain't runs a close second
I cherish my dear word y'all.
When I say y'all
I'm not being selfish
When I say y'all
I'm thinking of you all.
So when you hear about mama'nem
Remember it's not the words, It's the people behind the call
I'm not just talkin' bout anybody
These people start with y'all.
