Come ride that little train that is
rolling down the tracks to the Junction,
Petticoat Junction!
Forget about your cares, it is time to
relax at the Junction,
Petticoat Junction!
Lots of curves, you bet, even more when
you get to the Junction,
Petticoat Junction!
Well, there's a little hotel called the
Shady Rest at the Junction,
Petticoat Junction!
It is run by Kate, come and be her guest
at the Junction,
Petticoat Junction!
And you'll meet Uncle Joe, he's a-movin'
kinda slow at the Junction,
Petticoat Junction!
When they hear the dinner bell from the
Shady Rest Hotel at the Junction,
Petticoat Junction!
Folks will walk a country mile for that
chicken country-style at the Junction,
Petticoat Junction!
But the dishes to observe are those pretty
gals who serve at the Junction,
Petticoat Junction!
Well, we'll soon be leavin'
town
There's old Charley oilin'
round
Can she make it up the hill
At least to Hooterville
The pressure's on the rise
Floyd is burning railroad
ties
Everybody get inside
Doesn't cost a cent to ride
Come one and come all and we'll take that
Cannonball to the Junction,
Petticoat Junction!
*Just a bit
of trivia for you - Carolintone Music got its name
from
Paul and Ruth Henning's children
-
Carol, Linda (who played Betty Jo), and
Tony

And that's Uncle Joe, he's a-movin' kinda

*After Bea Benaderet died & June
Lockhart joined the cast,
the lyrics were changed to:
It is run by Joe, come and be his guest at
the Junction,
Petticoat Junction!
Here's our Lady M.D., she's as pretty as
can be at the Junction,
Petticoat Junction!
