I heard this on Spotify:


EAST CAROLINA BARBECUE BLUES
As recorded by Willie Nelms on "East Carolina Barbecue Blues" (2012)

In North Carolina at the end of the trail,
You see a sign on the door: "Barbecue for Sale."
I'm talkin' 'bout barbecue,
Talkin' 'bout barbecue.
Oh, that barbecue, the only thing I sell!

Well, you're sure gonna like it, 'cause it's good stuff.
You want some more 'cause you can't get enough
Of that barbecue,
Our eastern-style barbecue.
Oh, that barbecue, the only thing I sell!

The young folks like it; so do the old.
They eat it hot and they eat it cold.
I'm talkin' 'bout barbecue,
Talkin' 'bout barbecue.
Oh, that barbecue, the only thing I sell!

In North Carolina we sure like to eat.
We like corn bread and we like tea sweet,
But we love our barbecue,
Our eastern-style barbecue.
Oh, that barbecue, the only thing I sell!

Oh, that barbecue, the only thing I sell!
