A church house gin house

A school house outhouse

On Highway Number Nineteen

The people keep the city clean

They call it Nutbush

Oh Nutbush

Call it Nutbush city limits

Twentyfive was the speed limit

Motorcycle not allowed in it

You go t'the store on Friday

You go to church on Sunday

They call it Nutbush a little town

Oh Nutbush

They call it Nutbush city limits

You go t'the fields on week days

And have a picnic on Labor Day

You go to town on Saturday

But go to church every Sunday

They call it Nutbush

Oh Nutbush

They call it Nutbush city limits

No whiskey for sale

You can't cop no bail

Saltpork and molasses

Is all you get in jail

They call it Nutbush

Oh Nutbush

They call it Nutbush city Nutbush city limits

Little old town in Tennessee

That's called a quiet little old community

A one horse town

You have to watch

What you're puttin' down
