A D
I lived in a place called Okfuskee
A
and I had a little girl in a holler tree
D
I said, little girl, it's plain to see,
A
there ain't nobody that can sing like me
A* F#m
there ain't nobody that can sing like me
A D
She said it's hard for me to see
A
how one little boy got so ugly
D
Yes, my little girly, that might be,
A
but there ain't nobody that can sing like me
A* F#m
Ain't nobody that can sing like me,
A
way over yonder in the minor key
A* A
way over yonder in the minor key
A* F#m
There ain't nobody that can sing like me
A D
We walked down by the Buckeye Creek
A
to see the frog eat the goggle eye bee
D
To hear the west wind whistle to the east,
A
there ain't nobody that can sing like me
A* F#m
there ain't nobody that can sing like me
A D
Oh my little girly will you let me see,
A
way over yonder where the wind blows free
D
Nobody can see in our holler tree
A
and there ain't nobody that can sing like me
A* F#m
and there ain't nobody that can sing like me

CHORUS (X2 2nd time w/o words)
---------------------------------
D
Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
A
and laid it on the she and me,
D
it stung lots worse than a hive of bees
A
but there ain't nobody that can sing like me
A* F#m
ain't nobody that can sing like me
D
Now I have walked a long long ways
A
and I still look back to my tanglewood days
D
I've led lots of girls since then to stray
A
saying, ain't nobody that can sing like me
A* F#m
ain't nobody that can sing like me
