[Verse 1]
BbI've got kinfolks in Carolina
Bb                                 FThat's the place to find my family tree
        D                                GmThey're scattered from a little north of Georgia
C                                 F7To a little bit east of East Tennessee
              BbBut there's a little gal on top of Old Smoky
Bb                                   EbAnd she really ain't no kin to me at all
EbBut I'm gonna buy her a wedding ring
    F                      G7And get me a ticket on the New River train
    C7                  F                 BbAnd make her my closest kin, folks, after all

[Verse 2]
BbI've got kinfolks in Carolina
Bb                         FAunt Mollie lives Raleigh NC
         D                             GmI've got cousins by the dozens down in Charlotte
       C                             FAnd my grandpa fought with Robert E. Lee
              BbBut there's a little lump of sugar up in Ashville
Bb                                        EbWith a soothin' sort of a little southern drawl
EbI'll tie the knot with my southern belle
    F                         G7And tell all the world with a rebel yell
       C7            F                 BbShe'll be my closest kin, folks, after all
