Lyrics Chitlin' Cookin Time in Cheatham Co. - Rising Appalachia

Chitlin' Cookin Time in Cheatham Co.

There’s a quiet and peaceful county in the state of Tennessee
You will find it in the book that they call Geography
Not famous for its farming its minin' or its stills
But I know there’s chittlin' cookin' in them Cheatham County hills
When it’s chittlin' cookin' time in Cheatham County
I’ll be courtin' in them Cheatham County hills
And I’ll pick a Cheatham County chittlin' cooker
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 wrote down in books
In the hills of Cheatham County in sunny Tennessee
When chittlin’s are in season is where I long to be
When it’s chittlin' cookin' time in Cheatham County
I’ll be courtin' in them Cheatham County hills
And I’ll pick a Cheatham County chittlin' cooker
I’ve a longin' that the chittlin’s will fill
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
When it’s chittlin' cookin' time in Cheatham County
I’ll be courtin' in them Cheatham County hills
And I’ll pick a Cheatham County chittlin' cooker
I’ve a longin' that the chittlin’s will fill
Oh, the longin' that the chittlin’s will fill
Oh, the longin' that the chittlin’s will fill
Oh, the longin' that the chittlin’s will fill
Oh, the longin' that the chittlin’s will fill…
