Chittlin’ Cookin’ Time in Cheatham County lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a quiet in our peaceful county in the state of Tennessee
You will find it in a book now that they call 'Geography'
Not famous for its farmin', it's either minin' or it's steers
But they know that there's chittlins cookin' in them Cheatham County hills

[Chorus]
Well 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 chittlins will fill

[Verse 2]
There's an art in chittlin' cooking and all them chittlin' cooks
They must master it by practice 'cause it ain't been owned in books
In the hills of Cheatham County in sunny Tennessee
When the chittlins are in season is where I long to be

[Chorus]
Well 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 chittlins will fill

[Verse 3]
Of all the things they put before me
Well I think chittlins are the best
And when I'll press that dyin' pillow
Let chittlins be my last request
[Chorus]
Well 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 them chittlins will fill
I've a longin' that them chittlins will fill
