Blossom Dearie - Rhode Island Is Famous For You lyrics

Copper comes from Arizona
Peaches come from Georgia
And lobsters come from Maine
The wheat fields are the
Sweet fields of Nebraska
And Kansas gets bonanzas from the grain
Old whiskey comes from old Kentucky
Ain't the country lucky
New Jersey gives us glue
And you, you come from Rhode Island
And little old Rhode Island is famous for you
Cotton comes from Lou-siana
Cophers from Montana and spuds from Idaho
They plow land in the cow land of Missour-a
Where most beef meant for roast
Beef seems to grow
Grand canyons come from Colorad-a
Gold comes from Nevada divorces also do

And you, you come from Rhode Island
Little old Rhode Island is famous for you
Pencils come from Pennsylvania
Vest from Vest Virginia
Tnd Tents from Tent-esee
They know mink where they
Grow mink in Wyo-mink
A camp chair in New Hamp-chair, that's for me
And minnows come Minnesota
Coats come from Dakota
But why should you be blue?
For you, you come from Rhode Islan
Don't let them ride Rhode Island
It's famous for you
