—Leake County Revelers
I been to the east and been to the west, and I been to Alabama
Prettiest little gal I ever did see, lives down in Louziana
I been to the east and been to the west, and I been to Alabama
All the man give me for to eat was the leg of a yellow hammer
(alt: Toughest piece of meat I ever tried to eat was the back of a yellow hammer)
Prettiest little gal I ever did see, lived in Alabama
You wanna know her name, what her name must be, her name was Suzianna
Been to the east, been to the west, been to Alabama
Prettiest little gal I ever did see, lives in Alabama
