| Now Cora Lee from Tennessee
|
| Had diamonds by the score
|
| Big fur coat and picture hat
|
| Still she’d play you for more
|
| And all the boys were simply wild
|
| About this vamping babe
|
| And when the other girls swarm here
|
| Here’s what they did say:
|
| Girls, I’m a plain little brown from a one-horse town
|
| But I’m vamping just the same
|
| I’m plain in my style with my big, broad smile
|
| «Cheerful Memphis,» my nickname
|
| I was born in Virginia, reared in Tennessee
|
| I’m like a
|
| I’m just a plain little brown from a one-horse town
|
| But I’m vamping just the same
|
| Lord, I’m a plain little brown from a one-horse town
|
| But I’m vamping just the same
|
| I’m plain in my style with my big, broad smile
|
| «Cheerful Memphis,» my nickname
|
| I went up on the mountain, looked down in the sea
|
| The fishes in the water tried to flirt with me
|
| 'Cause I’m a plain little brown from a one-horse town
|
| But I’m vamping just the same
|
| I’m a plain little brown from a one-horse town
|
| But I’m vamping just the same
|
| Lord, I’m plain in my style with my big, broad smile
|
| «Cheerful Memphis,» my nickname
|
| My name’s Alberta, home’s in a lion’s den
|
| And my favorite occupation is stealing monkey-women's men
|
| I’m just a plain little brown from a one-horse town
|
| But I’m vamping just the same |
