[1st verse:]

Goodbye, I'm leaving town

I've sent my luggage down

To the railway station

I've had my vacation

Before I go away

This much I want to say

I would like to have you call on me someday



[chorus:]

When you're down in Tennessee

Stop at Chattanooga

Stop at Chattanooga

Don't forget to call on me

Down in Chattanooga

Down in Chattanooga

Accept my invitation

You can make yourself at home

I'll meet you at the station

With a "Giddyap, Giddyap, Napoleon"

You'll find hospitality

Down in Chattanooga

Down in Chattanooga

You're just as welcome as you can be

You'll find a menu, a menu

With a lot of things to eat upon it when you

Come to Chattanooga

Chattanooga, Tennessee



[2nd verse:]

What's mine you'll find is yours

My folks keep "Open Doors"

Anyone who will come

Is entirely welcome

And you'll be glad to stay

Where healthy chickens lay

Sixty cents-a-dozen eggs the livelong day
