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
