[VERSE I]
Well, Ejust beyond Virginias southern Aborder
Is a Eland that I am happy to call Bmine
And EI was raised in a house of brick and Amortar
In the Bred clay hills of central CaroEline
Now the Ecorn crop there is hardly worth a Amention
And the Ecattle farms are fine but not the Bbest
Its this Elittle leaf we borrowed from the Aindians
That Bkeeps our state a notch above the Erest
[CHORUS]
The AGeorgia peach is fair, KenEtucky beyond compare
AAlabamas grand, The Bstate not the band
Now the Esouth she has her diamonds, And Aevery one is great
But ENorth Carolina is a Bcigarette Estate.
[VERSE II]
Now the Efolks in our hometown sure had the Ahabit
They Esmoked the best home grown the whole year Bround
They Eknew what a good time was and how to Ahave it
Because Bthat was a cigarette Etown
Our Eneighbour Frank was no high bred man of Aletters
But Ehe made an honest living off the Bland
And he Eput away three packs a day or Abetter
Because Bhe was a cigarette Eman
[CHORUS]
The AGeorgia peach is fair, KenEtucky beyond compare
AAlabamas grand, The Bstate not the band
Now the Esouth she has her diamonds, And Aevery one is great
But BNorth Carolina is a Bcigarette Estate.
[CHORUS SOLO]
A  E  A  B  E  A  B  E
[VERSE III]
I Etook up with a pretty thing from ANashville
Loved Eher more than even I told Bher so
She Etook it between her fingers nice and Anatural
And Bsucked it to the filter like a Epro
So I Egave her a ring and from her pa I Aswiped her
She Egave me a boy I'm happy to call Bmine
EChain smokes cools and I go out for Adiapers
In a Bred brick house in central CaroEline
[CHORUS]
The AGeorgia peach is fair, KenEtucky beyond compare
AAlabamas grand, The Bstate not the band
Now the Esouth she has her diamonds, And Aevery one is great
But BNorth Carolina is a Bcigarette Estate.
[OUTRO]
And ENorth Carolina is a Bcigarette Estate

[VERSE I]

E A

Well, just beyond Virginias southern border

E B

Is a land that I am happy to call mine

E A

And I was raised in a house of brick and mortar

B E

In the red clay hills of central Caroline

E A

Now the corn crop there is hardly worth a mention

E B

And the cattle farms are fine but not the best

E A

Its this little leaf we borrowed from the indians

B E

That keeps our state a notch above the rest

[CHORUS]

A E

The Georgia peach is fair, Kentucky beyond compare

A B

Alabamas grand, The state not the band

E A

Now the south she has her diamonds, And every one is great

E B E

But North Carolina is a cigarette state.

[VERSE II]

E A

Now the folks in our hometown sure had the habit

E B

They smoked the best home grown the whole year round

E A

They knew what a good time was and how to have it

B E

Because that was a cigarette town

E A

Our neighbour Frank was no high bred man of letters

E B

But he made an honest living off the land

E A

And he put away three packs a day or better

B E

Because he was a cigarette man

[CHORUS]

A E

The Georgia peach is fair, Kentucky beyond compare

A B

Alabamas grand, The state not the band

E A

Now the south she has her diamonds, And every one is great

B B E

But North Carolina is a cigarette state.

[CHORUS SOLO]

A E A B E A B E

[VERSE III]

E A

I took up with a pretty thing from Nashville

E B

Loved her more than even I told her so

E A

She took it between her fingers nice and natural

B E

And sucked it to the filter like a pro

E A

So I gave her a ring and from her pa I swiped her

E B

She gave me a boy I'm happy to call mine

E A

Chain smokes cools and I go out for diapers

B E

In a red brick house in central Caroline

[CHORUS]

A E

The Georgia peach is fair, Kentucky beyond compare

A B

Alabamas grand, The state not the band

E A

Now the south she has her diamonds, And every one is great

B B E

But North Carolina is a cigarette state.

[OUTRO]

E B E

And North Carolina is a cigarette state
