Down in the country, amongst the pines

Norfolk, Virginia, near the North Carolina line

Down in the country, amongst the pines

Norfolk, Virginia, near the North Carolina line

Well now me and old Elmer Waterfield

Used to sit beneath the pines

Arguing whose car was faster

Was it his or was it mine

Then hear and tell the story

You'd swear that it was true

His old Ford and one Plymouth of me

Went a hundred and twenty-two

Down in the country, amongst the pines

Norfolk, Virginia, near the North Carolina line

If you want to spread a rumor

Or a gossip, please feel free

Just ask old Lonzo Cooper

He's better than NBC
