Merle Travis - Kentucky Means Paradise

A lot of words are spelt the same with a different meanin' you see
Well here's a brand new way to spell heaven and accordin' to me
You take a K and an E an N and a T and a U and a C K Y, that spells Kentucky
But it means paradise

You take a chicken and you kill it
and you put him in a skillet and you fry him up a golden brown
That's southern cookin' and it's mighty nice

It don't cover a lot, when you look on a map
But I wasn't studyin' no georgraphy when i was sittin' on my mammys lap
You take a K and an E and an N and a T and a U and a C K Y, that spells Kentucky
But it means paradise

It don't cover a lot, when you look on a map
But I wasn't studyin' no georgraphy when i was sittin' on my mammys lap
Just take a K and an E an N and a T a U and a C K Y, that spells Kentucky
But it means paradise
It spells Kentucky
But it means paradise
