[Verse 1]
I was born in a little shack
Down in Mississippi
I was raised on a lotta soul
When I hear James Brown I gets that
Good feelin’ now, give it to me some, huh

[Refrain]
I’m a down home girl
I’m just a down home girl

[Verse 2]
I come from the country
But I sure do know where’s that
And when it comes to lovin’
I don’t hold nothin’ back
No, no, I said come with me
I don’t play, I’m a down home girl
I’m just a down home girl
(Oh, yeah)
I’m soulful as I wants to be
I gets right down to the nitty-gritty

[Refrain]
'Cause I’m a down home girl
I’m just a down home girl
(Yeah)
[Verse 3]
I say give me some hog maw
And a plate full of chitlins
I want me a slice of watermelon
And a handful of biscuits
Now, now, I’m gonna eat it up
I’m gonna eat it up
I’m gonna eat it up
I’m gonna eat it up

[Refrain]
'Cause I’m a down home girl
I’m just a down home girl
(Oh, yeah)

[Verse 4]
I say give me some hog maw
And a plate full of chitlins
I want me a slice of watermelon
And handful of biscuits
Now, now, I’m gonna hit it up
I’m gonna hit it up
I’m gonna hit it up
I’m gonna hit it up

[Refrain]
'Cause I’m a down home girl
I’m just a down home girl
I said I’m a down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
I’m just a down home girl
I’m a down home girl
I said I’m a down home girl
I’m just a down home girl
I said I’m a down home girl
I’m just a down
