Kemba's Got the Cabbage Moth Blues
Shovels & Rope

She was a hot-shit singer in a low-rent dive

Lookin like she wanna eat a man alive

legs get to kickin' in the worn-out shoe

Kemba's got the cabbage moth blues

Laundry in Los Angeles and old St. Lou

Left Carolina with a load or two

down in Kentucky got them hanging on the line

mama was dressed so fine


tell Kentucky how your turnip greens grow

tell California everything you know

tell New York, tell Tennessee, come to Carolina your drinks are on me


there's too much chicken in the hen house now

hens stay in, roosters stay out

see that red chicken sittin' on an egg

fox got the rooster and the rooster got dead


got water rolling and a pot of beans

had to keep the cabbage moth off the greens

put hot pepper right on the leaf


you'd better wash them off good before you serve them to me


tell Kentucky how your turnip greens grow

tell California everything you know

tell New York, tell Tennessee, come to Carolina your drinks are on me


it was a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey and a whiskey

was the music did play

I hope my mama didn't float away

because I heard that the Cumberland was out of the banks


tell Kentucky how your turnip greens grow

tell California everything you know

tell New York, tell Tennessee, come to Carolina your drinks are on me


tell Kentucky how your turnip greens grow

tell California everything you know

tell New York, tell Tennessee, come to Carolina and your drinks are on me
