Main riff plays in the background repeatedly, in time with the  
 
speaking 
 
(jeff foxworthy speaking) 
 
 
Greetings, y'all 
And welcome all you dang 
Foreigners from other nations 
 
Dear Lord, be with our guests 
And prepare them for 
The butt whooping they 
Are about to receive 
 
The Olympics in Georgia 
God, you know we're 
Going to screw that up 
 
I guarantee you 
When they let those doves go 
At the opening ceremony 
There are gonna be guys in 
The parking lot with shotguns 
 
And we will not have 
A flame that big without 
A pig on it, I guarantee 
 
Some fat guy going 
Dang good barbecue 
Top them stairs up there 
They ain't got no hand rail 
Be careful 
 
(riff comes to the front. Alan Jackson sings)
 
 
D 
 Of all the games 
         A 
That the rednecks play 
G                      D  
 There's some crazy events 
D                      A 
 If you know about the redneck ways 
G                       D 
 Then it makes perfect sense 
 
Main riff 
(speaking) 
Well, the Olympic rings will be 
Five old tires nailed together 
 
See, that's what I fear 
They're gonna get the list of events 
They're gonna have no idea 
What half this stuff 
Is supposed to be 
 
Like for fencing 
They'll be giving people 
Bailing wire and sheet metal 
 
They'll probably have to 
Cancel water polo after the 
First two or three horses drown 
 
I'll tell you 
Instead of discus throwing 
They'll be flinging Ford hubcaps 
 
D 
 You can't blame em 
        A 
For the way they are 
G                          D 
 But you can sit back and grin 
D 
 Cause they'll do something 
        A 
That is so bizzare 
G                  D 
 You won't see it again 
 
D 
 If you could ever 
       G 
Get inside their mind 
A 
 There's no telling 
     D 
What you might find 
 
D 
 They just do things 
      A 
In a different way 
 
G 
 All the games 
            D 
That the rednecks play 
 
Main riff to background 
(spoken) 
 
And you know, they haven't 
Even thought about it 
But the river they're 
Doing the kayak racing on 
Is the same river that 
They filmed Deliverance at 
That oughta add a whole degree 
Of difficulty, shouldn't it 
 
Cause if Ned Beatty couldn't 
Make it down that thing 
A Frenchman in a 
Pair of bicycle pants 
Ain't got a chance 
 
D 
 Be prepared to 
          A 
Watch the wildest show 
G                  D 
 Make it rowdy and loud 
D 
 You may not see em 
         A 
Bringing home the gold 
G                           D 
 But they'll sure make mama proud 
 
D 
 If you could ever 
       G 
Get inside their mind 
A 
 There's no telling 
     D 
What you might find 
 
D 
 They just do things 
      A 
In a different way 
 
G 
 All the games 
            D 
That the rednecks play 
 
Boom, boom, boom 
Hey, Ed, I got a white one 
 
Note: typically the d run on the song verses is a complete d (downstroke upstroke downstroke).  listen to the song to get them all. 
 
I hope you enjoy it !!
