Possum Holler

(альбом: If My Heart Had Windows - 1968)

As time goes by the tales grow taller
About possum in possum hollar.

As a young man I'd go a courting
With my sweetheart named Sally Blair
Down the mountain to possum hollar
Accidently I'd find her waiting there.

She'd tell her mama she was picking blossoms
By the moonlight so sweet and fair
And I'd tell daddy I'm a-hunting possum
And take off, friend and slicken down my hair.

As time goes by the tales grow taller
About possum in possum hollar.

Then one evening in possum hollar
Sally's daddy stopped all my fun
And we got married in possum hollar
Just me and Sally, her daddy and his gun.

Now when I see ol' possum hollar
Young and handsome and a fanfair
Well, I just lean back, ha, and bust out laughing
'Cause I know there ain't no possums there.

As time goes by the tales grow taller
About possum in possum hollar.
