Tallahassee

Oh won't you listen all you people



On the southbound train



Oh won't you listen to my friendly advice



About a quarter after seven, we'll be pulling into paradise



When you see land



Kinda green and grassy



Beneath a moon



Bright beyond compare



When you hear blue jays



Chirping high and sassy



And catch one sniff of southern cooking



Hanging on the evening air



When you see folks



All polite and classy



And every smile



Bids you stay and rest



Get off that train



You're in Tallahassee



The Southland at its best



When you see land



(Out of the window of a train)



Kinda green and grassy



(How in the world can you complain?)



Beneath a moon



(You ought to see the way it shines)



Bright beyond compare



(The way it shines upon the pines)



When you hear blue jays



Chirping high and sassy



And catch one sniff of southern cooking



Hanging on the evening air



(Oh sun)



When you see folks



(Having their after dinner chats)



All polite and classy



(Gentlemen all remove their hats)



And every smile



(Perfect harmony and peace)



Bids you stay and rest



(Hand the porter your valise)



Get off that train



You're in Tallahassee



(The Capital City of Florida)



And the Southland at its best



There is no doubt of it



We do not exaggerate of it



The Southland at its very best
