Sweet Kentucky Ham Lyrics - Rosemary Clooney

It's 6 P.M., supper time in South Bend, Indiana 

And you figure what the hell you can eat in your motel 

So you order up room service on the phone 

And you watch the local news and eat alone 

You've gotta take what little pleasures you can find 

When you got sweet Kentucky ham on your mind, on your mind 

Nothin' but sweet Kentucky ham on your mind 

It's 10 PM, they're rollin' up the sidewalk in Milwaukee 

And the only place to eat, is just across the street 

So you sit there with a bowl of navy beans 

And you turn the pages of magazine

And you feel you wanna quit while you're behind 

'Cause you've got sweet Kentucky ham on your mind, on your mind 

Nothin' but sweet Kentucky ham on your mind 

And you feel like you're forever on the phone 

Half past 10, let it ring 

Dial again, same damn thing 

And you're really getting hungry for some choc 

Grab a shower, take a walk 

It's 3 A.M., they're servin' up last call in Cincinatti 

But it's still a night time town 

If you know your way around 

And despite yourself you find you're wide awake 

Photos 

And you're staring at your scrambled eggs and steak 

And you must admit your heart's about to break 

When you think of what you left behind 

And you've got sweet Kentucky ham on your mind, on your mind 

Nothin' but sweet Kentucky ham on your mind
