* I said three corn patches about four cotton fields away
I said three corn patches about four cotton fields away
Lives the prettiest girl in the whole darn U.S.A.
I said A


She's got big brown eyes and long black wavy hair, Mmm
She's got big brown eyes and long black wavy hair
She's so beautiful, people it don't seem fair


Well I've been to Chicago, been to New Orleans
Yes, I've been to Chicago, been to New Orleans
But I'd rather see my baby workin' in her old blue jeans


* I said three (I said three) corn patches (corn patches)
About four (about four) cotton fields away
I said three (I said three) corn patches (corn patches)
About four (about four) cotton fields away
Lives the prettiest girl in the whole darn U.S.A.
I said A


She keeps a big bull dog out in the yard all night
She keeps a big bull dog out in the yard all night
And it barks like a bear oh, but he don't bite


Yeh,
* Repeat


Gimme three (corn patches) Gimme four (cotton fields away)
I said three (corn patches) well four
