Johnny Horton - In My Home in Shelby County lyrics

(Johnny Horton)

In my home in Shelby County, down there ‘n Memphis Tennessee

She’s a hundred pound of sugar, a-waiting there for me

The one I picked from love’s boat kept to raise our fam’ly tree

In my home in Shelby County, down there ‘n Memphis Tennessee

I love it in the summertime, I love it in the spring

I love it in the wintertime, or what the seasons bring

In my home in Shelby County, we’re as happy as can be

Honeysuckle ‘round the door, magnolia trees

Flowers blooming ev’rywhere, sway gently in the breeze

‘Round my home in Shelby County, down there ‘n Memphis Tennessee

-Solo-

In my home in Shelby County, down there ‘n Memphis Tennessee

She’s a hundred pound of sugar, a-waiting there for me

The one I picked from love’s boat kept to raise our fam’ly tree

In my home in Shelby County, down there ‘n Memphis Tennessee

I love it in the summertime, I love it in the spring

I love it in the wintertime, or what the seasons bring

In my home in Shelby County, we’re as happy as can be

Honeysuckle ‘round the door, magnolia trees

Flowers blooming ev’rywhere, sway gently in the breeze

‘Round my home in Shelby County, down there ‘n Memphis Tennessee
