[Verse 1]
I've got kinfolks in Carolina
That's the place to find my family tree
They're scattered from a little north of Georgia
To a little bit east of East Tennessee
But there's a little gal on top of Old Smoky
And she really ain't no kin to me at all
But I'm gonna buy her a weddin' ring
And get me a ticket on the New River train
And make her my closest kinfolks, after all
[Verse 2]
I've got kinfolks in Carolina
Aunt Mollie lives in Raleigh, N.C
I've got cousins by the dozens down in Charlotte
And my grandpa fought with Robert E. Lee
But there's a little lump of sugar up in Asheville
With a soothin' sort of a little southern drawl
I'll tie the knot with my southern belle
And tell all the world with a rebel yell
She'll be my closest kinfolks, after all
Well, I'm gonna buy her a weddin' ring
And get me a ticket on the New River train
And make her my closest kinfolks, after all
