          Dm                                            G7
There's a quiet and a peaceful county in the state of Tennessee
          Dm                                    A       Dm A Dm
You will find it in a book now that they call Geography
    Dm                                               G7
Not famous for its farming, it's either mining or it stills
          Dm                                             A      Dm     A Dm
But they know there’s chittlin’ cookin’ in them Cheatham County hills


Chorus:
          Dm
When it’s chittlin’ cookin’ time in Cheatham County
        Dm                               G7
I’ll be courtin’ in them Cheatham County hills
         Dm
And I’ll pick a Cheatham County chittlin’ cooker
       Dm               A               Dm   A  Dm
I’ve a longin’ that the chittlin’s will fill


There’s an art in chittlin’ cookin’ and all good chittlin cooks
They must master it by practice cause it ain’t reknowned in books
In the hills of Cheatham County, in sunny Tennessee
When the chittlins are in season is where I long to be

Chorus

Of all good things put be for me, I think chittlin’s are the best
And when I press that dying pillow, let chittlin’s by my last request


Chorus
