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

F
It was a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey....
F
...and a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey while the music did play
C
I hope my mama didn't float away
C                         (G)         G          G7!
Because I heard that the Cumberland was out of the banks
