Chittlin' cookin' time in cheaham county
There's a quiet and peaceful county in the state of Tennessee You will find it in the book they call Geography Not famous for its farming, its mines, or its stills But they know there's chittlin' cookin' in them cheatham county hills When it's chittlin' cookin' time in cheatham county I'll be courtin' in them cheatham county hills And I'll pick a cheatham county chittlin' cooker I've a longin' that the chittlin's will fill There's an art in chittlin' cookin' and all good chittlin cookin' cooks Can only be mastered by practice cause it ain't wrote down in books In the hills of cheatham county in sunny Tennessee When chittlin's are in season is where I long to be Of all good things there could be for me I think chittlin's are the best And when I press that dying pillow Let chittlin's by my last request * Refrain
