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
