Kentucky Means Paradise

Merle Travis

© American Music, BMI

You take a K and a E N and a T U and a C K Y
And that spells KENTUCKY and it means paradise

You take a chicken and you kill it and you put it in the skillet
And you fry up a golden brown
That's southern cookin' and that's mighty nice

It don't cover lot when you look on a map
But I once studied geography when I sat in my mama's lap
You take a K and a E N and a T and U and a C K Y
And that spells KENTUCKY and it means paradise
[ instrumental ]
It don't cover lot when you look on a map...
[ instrumental ]
It don't cover lot when you look on a map...
I said Kentucky and it means paradise
