A                             D
I lived in a place called Okfuskee
                                   A
and I had a little girl in a holler tree
                                   D
I said, little girl, it's plain to see,
                                      A
there ain't nobody that can sing like me 
A*                                   F#m
there ain't nobody that can sing like me 


        A                    D
She said it's hard for me to see
                            A
how one little boy got so ugly
                                 D
Yes, my little girly, that might be,
                                          A
but there ain't nobody that can sing like me
                         A*     F#m
Ain't nobody that can sing like me,


                             A              
way over yonder in the minor key
                       A*    A
way over yonder in the minor key
                         A*           F#m
There ain't nobody that can sing like me


A                                 D
We walked down by the Buckeye Creek
                                   A
to see the frog eat the goggle eye bee
                                      D
To hear the west wind whistle to the east,
                                       A
there ain't nobody that can sing like me
                            A*        F#m
there ain't nobody that can sing like me


              A                     D
Oh my little girly will you let me see,
                                      A     
way over yonder where the wind blows free
                              D
Nobody can see in our holler tree
                                          A
and there ain't nobody that can sing like me
                                 A*       F#m
and there ain't nobody that can sing like me

CHORUS    (X2 2nd time w/o words)
---------------------------------

                                      D
Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
                           A
and laid it on the she and me,
                                    D
it stung lots worse than a hive of bees
                                         A
but there ain't nobody that can sing like me
                       A*       F#m
ain't nobody that can sing like me

                               D
Now I have walked a long long ways
                                        A
and I still look back to my tanglewood days
                                       D
I've led lots of girls since then to stray
                                        A
saying, ain't nobody that can sing like me
                       A*       F#m
ain't nobody that can sing like me
