Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabam’

I got a gal down in Georgia named Georgia May

Got a little gal down in Texas way

I got a gal in Virginia, one in Arkansas

Both about the cutest that you ever saw

But the sweetest gals to me what am

Live in Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabam'

I got a gal down in Florida near Jacksonville

Now she won't spoon but her sister will

I got a gal in Carolina named Lucy Liu

Chews that tobacco like the menfolks do

But the sweetest gals to me what am

Live in Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabam'

I got a gal in Mississippi, lives in old Yazoo

Says her name is Mabel but I call her Sue

I got a gal in Oklahoma, owns a lot of oil

Got the kind of love that makes your temper boil

But the sweetest gals to me what am

Live in Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabam'

You may wonder what I'm trying to prove in this here song

I'll tell you now and it won't take long

I want you all to know that I've been around

Pass along the things that I've always found

And the sweetest gals to me what am

Live in Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabam'
