Chitlin Cookin' Time in Cheatham 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 mining, nor its stills
But they know their 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
For the longin' that a mess of chittlin' fills

There's an art in chittlin' cookin' and all good chittlin cooks
They must master it by practice -- 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

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
For the longin' that a mess of chittlin' fills

Of all good things put before me
I think chittlin's are the best
And when I rest on my dying pillow
Let chittlin's be 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
For the longin' that a mess of chittlin' fills
For the longin' that a mess of chittlin' fills
