But they know that there's chittlin's cookin' in them Cheatham County hills

They must master it by practice 'cause it ain't been owned in books
In the hills of Cheatham county in sunny Tennessee

Of all the things they put before me
Well, I think chittlin's are the best
And when I'll press that dyin' pillow
Let chittlin's be my last request
