You take a K and a E N and a T you and a see K why
And that spells Kentucky and it means paradise
You take a chicken and you kill it and you put it in the skillet
And you fry up a golden brown
That's southern cookin' and that's mighty nice
It don't cover lot when you look on a map
But I once studied geography when I sat in my mama's lap
You take a K and a E N and a T you and a see K why
And that spells Kentucky and it means paradise
It don't cover lot
It don't cover lot
I said Kentucky and it means paradise
