Lyrics:

1. I said three corn patches about four cotton fields away
I said three corn patches about four cotton fields away
Lives the prettiest girl in the whole darn U.S.A., I said A

She's got big brown eyes and long black wavy hair

She's got big brown eyes and long black wavy hair
She's so beautiful, people it don't seem fair

Well, I've been to Chicago, been to New Orleans
Yes, I've been to Chicago, been to New Orleans
But I'd rather see my baby workin' in her old blue jeans

1. (repeat)

She keeps a big bull dog out in the yard all night
She keeps a big bull dog out in the yard all night
He barks like a son of gun, but he don't bite

1. (repeat)
