Tennessee Courtin' Time

The boys have on their Sunday clothes The girls are wearing satin bows The preacher's smilin' 'cause he knows It's Tennessee courtin' time They're all dressed up in colors bright Flyin' higher than a kite The front porch will be dark tonight It's Tennessee courtin' time When they see a shootin' star The boys can kiss the missus They'll be bringin' in lightenin' bugs To get them extra kisses The old folks found some place to go Maybe to a picture show They'll leave the parlor lights down low It's Tennessee courtin' time They're dustin' off their dancin' shoes Struttin' around like kangaroos And busy spreadin' around the news It's Tennessee courtin' time The boys are buzzin' 'round like bees Shinin' up their Model T's Tonight they're gonna fan the breeze It's Tennessee courtin' time Johnny comes callin' 'round tonight To try his Janey's cookin' He won't care if it's good or bad Because she's so good lookin' So milk the cows, feed the hogs And fill the wood box full of logs Put out the fire and call the dogs It's Tennessee courtin' time
