Ain't A-Hankerin' (Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: Fancy Meeting You Here - 1958)

It's a mighty pretty evening for a barbeque
I brought my banjo out to plunk a bar or two
Moon is shining bright and there's a star or two
And I can smell the doughnuts and the pie

But I just
Ain't a-hankering for banjo plunking
Ain't a-hankering for pumpkin pie
Ain't a-hankering for doughnut dunking
There's something else entirely on my mind
Yes, there's something else entirely on my mind

And it ain't
Cotton picking
And it ain't
Berry pie
And it ain't
Eating chicken
Oh, there's something else entirely on my mind
Yes, there's something else entirely on my mind

Little frogs are honking at the fireflies
Reckon' it's a-time for me to harmonize
And when it comes to calling hogs I win the prize
And I brought my dancing shoes to do a clog

But I just
Ain't a-hankering for soft shoe clogging
I ain't a-hankering to harmonize
I ain't a-hankering for a-hogging or a-frogging
'Cause there's something else entirely on my mind
Yes, there's something else entirely on my mind

And it ain't
Turkey shooting
And it ain't
Catfish fry
And it ain't
Ragtime tooting
Oh, there's something else entirely on my mind
Oh, there's something else entirely on my mind
Yes, there's something else entirely on my mind
