[[verse i]]
She was a hot-shit singer in a low-rent dive
()
Lookin like she wanna eat a man alive
Legs get to kickin in a worn-out shoe
()
Kemba s got the cabbage moth blues
Laundry in Los Angeles and old St. Lou(is)
()
Left Carolina with a load or two
Down in Kentucky got them hanging on the line
()
Mama was dressed so fine
[[chorus]]
Tell Kentucky how your turnip greens grow
Tell California everything you know
()
Tell New York, tell Tennessee, come to Carolina your drink s on me
[[verse ii]]
There s too much chicken in the hen house now
()
Hens stay in, roosters stay out
See that red chicken sittin on an egg
()
Fox caught the rooster and the rooster got dead
Got the water rolling in a pot of beans
()
Had to keep the cabbage moth off the greens
Put the hot pepper right on the leaf
()
You better wash them off good fore you serve them to me
[[chorus]]
Tell Kentucky how your turnip greens grow
Tell California everything you know
()
Tell New York, tell Tennessee, come to Carolina your drink s on me
[[bridge]]
It was a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey....
...and a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey while the music did play
I hope my mama didn t float away
() !
Because I heard that the Cumberland was out of the banks
[[chorus x2]]
Tell Kentucky how your turnip greens grow
Tell California everything you know
()
Tell New York, tell Tennessee, come to Carolina your drink s on me
Tell Kentucky how your turnip greens grow
Tell California everything you know
()
Tell New York, tell Tennessee, come to Carolina your drink s on me
!
come to Carolina and your drink s on meeeeeeeeeeeee.....
