Burl Ives - Sourwood Mountain Lyrics

Burl Ives Lyrics

"Sourwood Mountain"

One of the gayest and most danceable of the mountain fiddle tunes

Chicken a-crowing on Sourwood Mountain
Hoe-deeing-di diddy-I-day
So many pretty girls I can't count 'em
Hoe-deeing-di diddy-I-day

My true love lives over the holler
Hoe-deeing-di diddy-I-day
She won't come and I won't foller
Hoe-deeing-di diddy-I-day

Pack my jimmy up Sourwood Mountain
Hoe-deeing-di diddy-I-day
So many pretty girls I can't count 'em
Hoe-deeing-di diddy-I-day

Oh man, oh man, I want your daughter
Hoe-deeing-di diddy-I-day
To break my bed and carry my water
Hoe-deeing-di diddy-I-day

Chicken a-crowing on Sourwood Mountain
Hoe-deeing-di diddy-I-day
So many pretty girls I can't count 'em
Hoe-deeing-di diddy-I-day
