Kemba's Got The Cabbage Moth Blues

"Thank Jessie for doin' the newsletter.
 I wanna bring out Shovels & Ropes now to entertain ya.
 Folks, I ask that you please keep the conversation down to a very minimum.
 Those of ya that come here quite a bit understand what's goin' on
 And I've had more of my, my permanent customers shush people.
 So, while our entertainers on stage, let's give 'em your full attention.
 We like to listen to the entertainers, we don't wanna know what
 What ya cleaned out behind the refrigerator last night.
 Alright? Yeah.
 Here we go folks, I hope you're ready to go back there, I didn't even look
 Alright (We're ready) Let's put our hands together for Shovels & Rope"
 She was a hot-shit singer in a low-rent dive
 Lookin' like she wanna eat a man alive
 Legs get to kickin' in the worn-out shoe
 Kemba's got the cabbage moth blues
 Laundry in Los Angeles and old St. Lou
 Left Carolina with a load or two
 Down in Kentucky got them hanging on the line
 Mama was dressed so fine
 Tell Kentucky how your turnip greens grow
 Tell California everything you know
 Tell New York, tell Tennessee
 Come to Carolina, your drinks on me
 There's too much chicken in the hen house now
 Hens stay in, roosters stay out
 See that red chicken sittin' on an egg
 Fox got the rooster and the rooster got dead
 Got water rolling and a pot of beans
 Had to keep the cabbage moth off the greens
 Put hot pepper right on the leaf
 You'd better wash them off good before you serve them to me
 Tell Kentucky how your turnip greens grow
 Tell California everything you know
 Tell New York, tell Tennessee
 Come to Carolina, your drinks on me
 It was a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey
 And a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey
 While the music did play
 I hope my mama didn't float away
 'Cuz I heard that the Cumberland was out of the banks
 Tell Kentucky how your turnip greens grow
 Tell California everything you know
 Tell New York, tell Tennessee
 Come to Carolina, your drinks on me
 Tell Kentucky how your turnip greens grow
 Tell California everything you know
 Tell New York, tell Tennessee, come to Carolina
 And your drinks on me
 Come to Carolina and your drinks on me
 Mmmm, fish and grits
