Come here girls and listen to my noise
Don't you marry an Arkansas boy
Marry a feller from Tennessee, eat
Cornbread, and 'la**es and sa**afras tea
Cornbread, and 'la**es and sa**afras tea.
Traveled all over this whole wide world
Eat a lotta cookin' from a lotta pretty girls
But there's none like Tennessee
With cornbread, and 'la**es and sa**afras tea
Cornbread, 'la**es and sa**afras tea.
Well, Grandpa Snazzy lives on the hill
He ain't never died and I guess he never will
The neighbours all around say he's ninety three
The old man's happy as he can be eatin'
Cornbread, 'la**es and sa**afras tea
Cornbread, 'la**es and sa**afras tea.
Well, old Uncle Bill on his dyin' bed
He called 'em all around and then he said
My last request, please, let it be
Cornbread, 'la**es and sa**afras tea
Cornbread, 'la**es and sa**afras tea.
Well, come here, girls, and listen to my noise
Don't you marry an Arkansas boy
Marry a feller from Tennessee, eat
Cornbread, and 'la**es and sa**afras tea
Cornbread, and 'la**es and sa**afras tea.
