Artist/Band: Jimmy Dean
Lyrics for Song: Kentucky Means Paradise
Lyrics for Album: Big Dad John [1993]



(Merle Travis)



Now a lot of words have spelled the same with a different meanin' you see

But here's a brand new way to spell heaven and accordin' to me

You take a K and an E and an N and a T and U C K Y

That spells Kentucky but it means paradise.



You take a chicken and you kill it

And you throw it in the skillet

And you fry up a golden brown

That's southern cookin' taste mighty fine.



It don't cover a lot when you look on a map

But I once studied geography

When I was sattin' on my mama's lap

You take K E N T U C K Y that spells Kentucky but it means paradise.



--- Instrumental ---



It don't cover a lot when you look on a map

But I once studied geography

When I was sattin' on my mama's lap

You take K E N T U C K Y that spells Kentucky but it means paradise.



Yes, that spells Kentucky but it means paradise...
