lyrics

“Y’All Means All”
By John McCutcheon


I remember back, I was eight or nine
At my grandma’s house in the summertime
Every night around six, I’d hear her sweet slow drawl
Y’all come in. Y’all means all.

I might not like you. You might not like me.
Sometimes that’s the way that things are gonna be.
Still I’ll catch you, if you should fall.
‘Cause where I come from, Y’all means all.

Chorus
Blood is blood. Bone is bone.
Skin is skin. And home is home.
There ain’t no difference, I can recall
Where I come from, Y’all means all

It’s a southern thing. Simple etiquette
You treat folks kindly, but sometimes folks forget
They act plumb mean, Neanderthal.
My Grandma said, Y’all means all.


Chorus

I’ve heard it said, around these parts
That we’ve got troubles, but we’ve got hearts.
And at this table, there is a chair.
Where all are welcome
Sit yourself down there.

Chorus

We are not perfect. We know it’s true
We are just human, we are just me and you
And someday soon, we’ll hear the call
Y’all come in. Y’all means all
Birkenstocks and overalls
Well bless your heart
Y’all Means All.
