Sequenced by: Ron Tilden

Nashville Cats, play clean as country water,
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew,

Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies,
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two.

Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
Guitar pickers in Nashville,

And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
On a Tennessee anthill.

Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
Guitar cases in Nashville,

And any one of them Texas guitars could play
Twice as better than I will.

Yes, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a
Musical proverbial kneehigh,

When I heard a couple newsounding tunes on the tubes
And they blasted me skyhigh,

And the record man said every one is a yellow Sun
Record from Nashville,

And up North there ain't nobody buys them
And I said, but I will.

And it was
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water,
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew,

Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies,
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two.

Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred and twenty one
Mothers from Nashville,

All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight
If one of the kids will,

Because it's custom made for any mother's son
To be a guitar picker in Nashville,

And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about
The music and the mothers from Nashville.

And
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water,
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew,

Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies,
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two.
