If the South would?ve won we'd a had it made, I'd prob?ly run for President of the Southern State. The day Elvis passed away would be our national holiday, if the South would a won we'd had a it made. 1. I'd make my Supreme Court down in Texas, and we would'nt have no killers getting?off free. If they were proven guilty then they would swing quickly, instead of writin? books and smilin? on T.V. 2. We'd all learn Cajun cookin in Louisiana, and I'd put that capitol back in Alabama. We'd put Florida on the right track ?cause, we'd take Miami back, and throw all them pushers in the slammers. If the South would?ve won we'd a had it made, I'd prob?ly run for President of the Southern State. The day young Skynyrd died we?d show our Southern Pride,, if the South would a won we'd had a it made. 3. I'd have all the whiskey made in Tennessee, and all the horses raised in those Kentucky hills. The national treasury would be in Tupelo, Mississippi and I'd put Hank William?s picture on one hundred dollar bills. 4. I'd have all the cars made in the Carolina's, and I'd ban all the ones made in China. I'd have every girl and child sent to Georgia to learn to smile, - ~ and talk with that southern accent that drives me wild. 4. I'd have all the fiddles made in Virginia ?cause they sure can make'em sound so fine. I'm goin up on Wolverton mountain and see ole Clinton Powers, and have a sip of his good ole Arkansas wine. Hey, if the South woulda won we'd had it made I'd prob?ly run for President of the Southern State, When Patsy Cline passed away that would be our national holiday, if the South woulda won we'd a had it made. ? A ? ? If the South woulda won we'd a had it made. (Spoken :) I?d be better off! (Hank Williams)

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un scénario alternatif où le Sud aurait gagné la guerre de Sécession, imaginant une culture et une société distinctes et idéalisées. Dans cette vision, l'auteur propose un monde où des traditions sudistes sont valorisées, où les lois seraient plus strictes concernant la criminalité, et où des figures emblématiques de la culture sudiste, comme Elvis, seraient célébrées avec des jours fériés. Il rêve d'une gouvernance qu'il ferait de manière plus locale, avec un accent sur la fierté régionale et les particularités culturelles, allant même jusqu'à évoquer des touchers humoristiques, comme la fabrication de whisky et de voitures dans le Sud. Le contexte de cette chanson repose sur une nostalgie pour une identité sudiste, souvent idéalisée, qui peut résonner avec des sentiments de fierté régionale et de désir d'appartenance à une culture spécifique. Tout en étant ancrée dans une réalité historique complexe, elle met en lumière un fantasme collectif qui interroge les enjeux d'identité et de tradition dans un monde contemporain.
