Verse:
I ^Glived in a place called Okfu^Cskee
And I ^Chad a little girl in a holler ^Gtree
I ^Gsaid, little girl, it's plain to ^Csee
^CAin't nobody that can sing like ^Gme
^Am7Ain't nobody that can sing like ^Emme

She ^Gsaid it's hard for me to ^Csee
How ^Cone little boy got so u^Ggly
^GYes my little girly that might ^Cbe
But there ^Cain't nobody that can sing like ^Gme
^Am7Ain't nobody that can sing like ^Emme

Chorus:
^CWay over yonder in the minor ^Gkey
^Am7Way over yonder in the minor ^Gkey
^Am7There ain't nobody that can sing like ^Emme

Verse:
We ^Gwalked down by the Buckeye ^CCreek
To ^Csee the frog eat the goggle-eye ^Gbee
To ^Ghear the west wind whistle to the ^Ceast
There ^Cain't nobody that can sing like ^Gme
^Am7Ain't nobody that can sing like ^Emme

^GOh my little girly will you let me ^Csee
^CWay over yonder where the wind blows ^Gfree
No^Gbody can see in our holler ^Ctree
And there ^Cain't nobody that can sing like ^Gme
^Am7Ain't nobody that can sing like ^Emme

(Chorus)

Verse:
Her ^Gmama cut a switch from a cherry ^Ctree
And ^Claid it on the she and ^Gme
It ^Gstung lots worse than a hive of ^Cbees
But there ^Cain't nobody that can sing like ^Gme
^Am7Ain't nobody that can sing like ^Emme

Now ^GI have walked a long long ^Cways
And I ^Cstill look back to my Tanglewood ^Gdays
I've ^Gled lots of girls since then to ^Cstray
Saying ^Cain't nobody that can sing like ^Gme
^Am7Ain't nobody that can sing like ^Emme

(Chorus)
