PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
I happened upon a video of "Southern Soul Cowboy" while surfing YouTube. Since then I have searched the internet for complete or partial lyrics for "Southern Soul Cowboy", but haven't found any lyrics online at all for this song. That surprised me since the complete lyrics for an English language song from the United States that has more than nine million views for its official YouTube video and millions of other views from some other YouTube videos/ song files would usually be featured on at least one online lyric site.

After searching the internet for information on King South, I believe that I found the answer to the question about why there are no lyrics for "Southern Soul Cowboy" online. I think that is largely because of King South (birth name Southern Lausane, III) has become a persona non grata because of his history of sexual assault and his being sentenced to prison in 2023 for possessing a firearm. https://www.justice.gov/usao-mdal/pr/montgomery-man-sentenced-10-years-federal-prison-being-felon-possession-firearm

In no way does this pancocojams post on the song "Southern Soul Cowboy" minimizes or condones  King South's terrible behavior and criminal actions. However, (as is the case with R Kelly and some other entertainers) I believe that King South's creative accomplishments should still be acknowledged and documented, if not applauded.   

This pancocojams post is an attempt to document the lyrics for "Southern Soul Cowboy", a song that I happen to like a lot. 

Additions and corrections for these lyrics are very welcome.

  1. The "boot scoot" words in my transcription of King South's song "Southern Soul Cowboy" are probably wrong. I couldn't figure out when King South was singing the word "boot" or the word "scoot".

    Please help correct that portion and other portions of this transcription!
