Текст пісні
I got a cousin way up in New-f'n-land
Wild as a moose and twice as loud
Boots in the mud, grinnin' ear to ear
Chewin' on salt beef, shoutin' in the crowd
But he caught a flight, suitcase crammed full
From St. John's fog to Bama's red clay pull
Touched down in boots, sweat beads on his brow
Muttered, "Why for's she so hot
Bye, turn that down
Best kind, yes bye! No matter North or South
He'll holler, "Whaddaya at?" with a grin splitting his mouth
Say, "Stay where you're at, I'll come where you're to
He'll wink right back, "Bye, that'll do
Lord tunderin' Jesus, what a sight, them two
Redneck and Newfie, wranglin' barbecue
We're cruisin' the highway, windows rolled low
Our country tunes are clashin' with the outport radio
The heat is thick as pea soup, "It's mauzy as sin
He's sweatin' like a codfish, and just grinnin' again
"Flat out like a lizard drinkin'," he calls with pride
While a gator lumbers by the Alabama roadside
"Why for all this fuss, bye?" he howls at the sky
Then swats at a skeeter and gives it a try
Best kind, yes bye! Now we're dodge'n the rain
From Dixie's red clay to old New-f'n-land's plain
"Stay where you're at and I'll come where you're to!
And if you're confused, well, join the crew
He shrugs, "That's a time," and with Newfie delight
Turns up the drawl, and turns out the light.
Out huntin' for ducks, in a field with no sea
He asks, "Why for aren't there boats? This don't feel right to me
He's teachin' me "Roll Tide!"—I reply, "What's the point
He cracks, "Lord liftin', bye, have another joint
When the job's hard as butterin' a cat's arse with a needle
We just laugh and keep goin', both stubborn as beagle
Now the arse is gone out of 'er, time to roll on
Whether in bay or Bama, the foolishness goes on
If you ask how I'm cuttin', "Like a knife!" I'll say
'Cause with a cousin like mine, life's a wild kind of way
Best kind, yes b'y, and don't you forget
Redneck meets Newfie, the oddest duet
From St. John's to Dixie, we howl at the moon
"Why for you stay where you're at
I'll come where you're to! Y'all come back soon
