[Verse 1]
Bb
I've got kinfolks in Carolina
Bb F
That's the place to find my family tree
D Gm
They're scattered from a little north of Georgia
C F7
To a little bit east of East Tennessee
Bb
But there's a little gal on top of Old Smoky
Bb Eb
And she really ain't no kin to me at all
Eb
But I'm gonna buy her a wedding ring
F G7
And get me a ticket on the New River train
C7 F Bb
And make her my closest kin, folks, after all
[Instrumental]

Aunt Mollie lives Raleigh NC
D Gm
I've got cousins by the dozens down in Charlotte
C F
And my grandpa fought with Robert E. Lee
Bb
But there's a little lump of sugar up in Ashville
Bb Eb
With a soothin' sort of a little southern drawl
Eb
I'll tie the knot with my southern belle
F G7
And tell all the world with a rebel yell
C7 F Bb
She'll be my closest kin, folks, after all
[Instrumental]

Well I'm gonna buy her a wedding ring
F G7
And get me a ticket on the New River train
C7 F Bb
And make her my closest kin, folks, after all
