"Chittlin' Cookin' Time In Cheatham County" lyrics

There's a quiet and a peaceful county
In the state of Tennessee
You will find it in a book now
That they call "Geography"
Not famous for its farming
It's either minin' or it's stills
But they know that there's chittlin's 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 in all good chittlin' cooks
They must master it by practice
'Cause it ain't renowned in books
In the hills of Cheatham County
In sunny Tennessee
When the chittlin's are in season
Is where I long to be

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

Of all the things they put before me
I think chittlin's are the best
And when I press that dying pillow
Let chittlin's by my last request

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

I've a longin' that the chittlin's will fill
