The Alphabet - Hank Snow

Well there was Anna from Austin

and Betty from Boston

And Caroline from down in Tennessee.

I was out to get

through the alphabet

Until I hit that terrible Z.

Well L was a breeze

With Lottie and Louise.

And M with Mavis and Marie.

I had little trouble;

With most, I could double

Until I hit that terrible Z Then I met Xona

From way out it Pamona

I said, «this is fate, I complete.»

But I thought what chagrin

when she told me in the end

It started with an X and not Z.

Now I’m looking for Zelda

Cause I’ve never held a Girl whose name begins with a Z.

And I’m gonna hate myself

If I die and don’t date my self

A girl whose name begins with a Z.
