Nashville cats play
Clean as country
Water
Nashville cats play
Wild as mountain
Dew
Nashville cats been
Playin' since they's
Babies
Nashville cats get
Work before they're
Two
Well there's thirteen
Hundred and fifty
Two
Guitar pickers in
Nashville
And they can pick
More notes than the
Number of ants
On a Tennessee
Anthill
Yeah there's
Thirteen hundred
And fifty two
Guitar cases in
Nashville
And any one of
Them texas guitars
Could play
Twice as better than
I will
Yes I was just
Thirteen you might
Say I was a
Musical proverbial
Knee-high
When I heard a
Couple
New-sounding tunes
On the tubes
And they blasted me
Sky-high
And the record man
Said every one is a
Yellow sun
Record from
Nashville
And up north here
Ain't nobody buys
'Em
And I said ''But I will''
And it was
Nashville cats play
Clean as country
Water
Nashville cats play
Wild as mountain
Dew
Nashville cats been
Playin' since they's
Babies
Nashville cats get
Work before they're
Two
Well there's sixteen
Thousand eight
Hundred twenty one
Mothers from
Nashville
All their friends play
Music and they ain't
Uptight
If one of the kids
Will
Because it's custom
Made for any
Mother's son
To be a guitar
Picker in Nashville
And I sure am glad I
Got a chance to say
A word about
The music and the
Mothers from Nashville
And
Nashville cats play
Clean as country
Water
Nashville cats play
Wild as mountain
Dew
Nashville cats been
Playin' since they's
Babies
Nashville cats get
Work before they're
Two
