Tallahassee lyrics

Oh won't you listen all you people

On the southbound train

Oh won't you listen to my friendly advice

About a quarter after seven, we'll be pulling into paradise

When you see land

Kinda green and grassy

Beneath a moon

Bright beyond compare

When you hear blue jays

Chirping high and sassy

And catch one sniff of southern cooking

Hanging on the evening air

When you see folks

All polite and classy

And every smile

Bids you stay and rest

Get off that train

You're in Tallahassee

The Southland at its best

When you see land

(Out of the window of a train)

Kinda green and grassy

(How in the world can you complain?)

Beneath a moon

(You ought to see the way it shines)

Bright beyond compare

(The way it shines upon the pines)

When you hear blue jays

Chirping high and sassy

And catch one sniff of southern cooking

Hanging on the evening air

(Oh sun)

When you see folks

(Having their after dinner chats)

All polite and classy

(Gentlemen all remove their hats)

And every smile

(Perfect harmony and peace)

Bids you stay and rest

(Hand the porter your valise)

Get off that train

You're in Tallahassee

(The Capital City of Florida)

And the Southland at its best

There is no doubt of it

We do not exaggerate of it

The Southland at its very best
