lyrics
Well she smells real good, like a TV dinner
and she’s always polite like you just met her
She don’t believe in Jesus, says she knows better
She’s my banjo pickin', tobacco spittin' girl
Well she gets high on apple pie
and she'll brew up shine that’ll make ya whine
She’s a renaissance woman with a nasty lip
My banjo pickin' tobacco spittin' gal
She’s rips the five with a lip full of dip
She’ll pick it so fine, she’ll have you shaking your hips
She don’t give a damn and she never will
She grows her own tobacco way up on the hill
Now if you see her coming don’t be alarmed
It’s hard to resist such a natural charm
She’s big and strong and stands up straight
She’s my banjo pickin' tobacco spittin' gal
And she sings too, hell she loves to sing
Ya oughta see it yourself, it’s no everyday thing
How all that dip don’t get in the way, it don’t fly out her mouth
Well I wish I could say
But lord knows it’s a sight to see
How does she sing so in tune with so few teeth
Well we call that a scientific anomaly
She’s my banjo pickin' tobacco spittin' gal
She’s rips the five with a lip full of dip
She’ll pick it so fine, she’ll have you shaking your hips
She don’t give a damn and she never will
She grows her own tobacco way up on the hill
And she loves me good, hell she loves me ragged
Won’t say too much, don’t want to sound like I’m bragging
I’ll just leave it at that, that's my story about
My banjo picking tobacco spitting gal
