Biografia:
Carl Lee Perkins (19 de abril de 1932 - 19 de janeiro de 1998) foi um pioneiro cantor americano de rockabilly, uma mistura de rhythm and blues e country music que desenvolveu-se na Sun Records em Memphis, Tennessee no começo dos anos 50.
Nascido em Tiptonville, Tennessee, filho de um pobre fazendeiro arrendatário, Perkins cresceu cercado pela sulista música gospel cantada pelos negros que trabalhavam nos campos de algodão. Aos 7 anos de idade ele já tocava guitarra, feita por seu pai com uma caixa, um galho e uma corda de embrulho.

[Verse 1]
E F#7
Now there are folks who like to brag about where they came from
B7 E
But when they start that stuff I let 'em be
F#7
But it makes me feel like I wanna brag some
B7 E
To know that I come from the state of Tennessee
[Chorus]
E B7
Let's give old Tennessee credit for music
E
As they play it up in Nashville everyday
A
Let's give old Tennessee credit for music
B7 E
As they play it in that old Hillbilly way

But if all you folks out there can remember
B7 E
Mister Eddy Arnold came from Tennessee
[Verse 3]

They make bombs they say that can blow up our world dear

They made the first atomic bomb in Tennessee
