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
Gophers 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
And 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 Island
Don't let them ride Rhode Island
It's famous for you
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 Gophers 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 And 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?
