Step right up, boys, right this way
Down to the Sewanee Mountain hideaway
All the girls lined up would spit in their eyes
Kickin' and a-scratchin' for a Tennessee prize
Gather 'round, boys, and place your bets
On which one a these cats can scratch the best
All you gals want a good clean fight
Sewanee Mountain catfight's here tonight
Sewanee Mountain catfight, dollar and a dime
Girls gone wild on the Tennessee line
Got her by the hair, another by the neck
Teeth go flyin' in a roadside shack
Well, the first thing you know, ol' Jump-Up Joe
Took twelve one win, place or show
She was lookin' to kill
Straight from the holler on hill
Then the whistle blew and Betty-Lou
Took a hankie in his hair and away she flew
Slapped her on the fanny then she flipped her gown
Racked up four points in the very first round
Sewanee Mountain catfight, dollar and a dime
Girls gone wild on the Tennessee line
Got her by the hair, another by the neck
Teeth go flyin' in a roadside shack
Yeah, the girls was hot and the beer was cold
Just about then them blue lights rolled
They busted in through the kitchen door
And the sheriff pulled out a .44
Hey Sheriff, bring that Betty Lou
She oughta bring that hothead home to you
The sheriff payed his $1.10
Said, "Girls, start up that fight again"
Sewanee Mountain catfight, dollar and a dime
Girls gone wild on the Tennessee line
Got her by the hair, another by the neck
Teeth go flyin' in a roadside shack
Step right up, boys
C'mon, now, lay your money down
Alright girls, now make it clean
We don't want no blows below the panty line
C'mon now
