Fatback, Louisiana, U.S.A. Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]They got a song about
Cincinnati and Tennessee
[D]But [G]nobody's wrote
about the [D]town
[G]that's heaven to me
[C]It's just a little west of New Orleans
Where [G]life is just a great
big [D]bowl of [G]butter beans
[D]Cause they serve your possum
thirty -seven times a day
In [G]Fatback, Louisiana, USA
And let me tell you,
every hog has got it made
[D]Cause he wal[G]lows in a puddle
filled with marmalade
[C]An d every cow is just the fattest
what am from [G]eating black cane molasses
with her candid yams brother
[D]Everybody's living in a great big way
in [G]fat back, Louisi[D]ana [G]USA
now every [B]house ain't the Ritz
But they're [Em]handy [C]when
you're hungry
cause they're [Em]built out of
grits and [G]listen [A]boy
When you're ill you get
a [D]black eyed pea
Instead of a pill and [G]let me tell you
when you come to call down there
You're gonna get a ham gravy.
That'll curl [D]your hair
[C]They pour a quart of brandy over a ham
And add a [G]pint of gin
and let it simmer in the pan
[D]Then they drink up all the juice
and throw the ham away in [G]fatback Louisi[D]ana

[D]
[G]Now every [B]house ain't the [B]rich
But they're [Em]handy when
you're hungry
Cause they're built out of grits
And [G]listen, [A]boy, when you're ill
You get a [D]black -eyed pea
instead of a pill
There's a [G]turnip [A]-green
[G]-covered [D]cottage
[G]Waitin' for me
[D]A g[G]al on the veranda
named Lula[Em]belle [G]Lee
[D]An [C]d by the window is her dear old Pa,
[G]just a -sippin' Jack Daniels
through a straw.
[D]So hand me down my hat
and I'll be on my way,
cause I'm [G]feelin' kinda hungry
and I'm fixin' to stay in Pac -Pac,
[C]Lou[D]isiana, USA!
