Alphabet Song

Hank Snow · Hank Snow Sings Sacred Songs [RCA Victor] [1958]

Well, there was Anna from Austin

And Betty from Boston

And Caroline from down in Tennessee

I was out to get

Through the alphabet

Until I hit that terrible Z.



Well, L was a breeze

With Lottie and Louise

And M with Mavis and Marie

I had little trouble

With most I could double

Until I hit that terrible Z.



Then I met Xona

From way out it Pamona

I said, ''This is fate, I complete.''

But I thought with chagrin

When she told me in the end

It started with an X and not Z.



Now I'm looking for Zelda

'Cause I've never held a

Girl whose name begins with a Z

And I'm gonna hate myself

If I die and don't date my self

A girl whose name begins with a Z.
