[Verse 1]
Every year 'bout this time the local gentry
Have a meetin' down in Chick'saw land (Chick'saw land)
They all come to judge each and every entry
Who wants to try out for the Okolona Band

[Verse 2]
All the way from Kosciusko
Up from Biloxi shore
There's not a half-grown man
Who wouldn't like to be
In the Okolona River Bottom Band

[Bridge]
(Ba, ba, ba
Ba, yeah)

[Chorus]
Backwoods majority
No holds barred-y
Come as you are-edy
(Oo) Okolona River
See, I told you so-ciety
Green apple pie-ety
Delta variety
Okolona River Bottom Band
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Semi-annual
Come as you can-ual
Five man band-ual
Okolona River Bottom Band
Backwoods majority
No holds barred-y
Come as you are-edy
Okolona River Bottom Band
See, I told you so-ciety
Green apple pie-ety
Delta variety
Okolona River Bottom Band

[Outro]
Semi-annual
Come as you can-ual
Five man band-ual
Okolona River Bottom Band
