Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDAEA FGHGHHHH IJKJHLAL AAAAMNAN

I be'n down in ole KentuckyA
Fur a week er two an' sayB
'T wuz ez hard ez breakin' oxenC
Fur to tear myse'f awayB
Allus argerin' 'bout fren'shipD
An' yer hospitalityA
Y' ain't no right to talk about itE
Tell you be'n down there to seeA
-
See jest how they give you welcomeF
To the best that's in the landG
Feel the sort o' grip they give youH
When they take you by the handG
Hear 'em say We 're glad to have youH
Better stay a week er twoH
An' the way they treat you makes youH
Feel that ev'ry word is trueH
-
Feed you tell you hear the buttonsI
Crackin' on yore Sunday vestJ
Haul you roun' to see the wondersK
Tell you have to cry for restJ
Drink yer health an' pet an' praise youH
Tell you git to feel ez greatL
Ez the Sheriff o' the countyA
Ez the Gov'ner o' the StateL
-
Wife she sez I must be crazyA
'Cause I go on so an' NelseA
He 'lows Goodness gracious daddyA
Cain't you talk about nuthin' elseA
Well pleg gone it I 'm jes' tickledM
Bein' tickled ain't no sinN
I be'n down in ole KentuckyA
An' I want o' go ag'inN
