Sourwood Mountain







I’se got a gal in the Sourwood mountain,

She’s so good and kind,

She’s broke the heart of many a poor feller,

But she ain’t broke this ‘un of mine.



Cho.

I’se got a gal in the Sourwood mountain,

Hey tank - toodle all the day--

I’se got a gal in the Sourwood mountain,

Hey tank-- toodle -- all the day.



I’se got a gal in the Buffalo holler,

Hey tank toodle all the day,

She won’t come and I won’t foller,

Hey tank-toodle all the day.



I’se got a gal in the bend of the river,

Hey tank-toodle all the day,

A hop and a jump and I’ll be with her,

Hey  tank-toodle all the day.



Some of these days before very long,

Hey tank-toodle all the day,

I’ll get my gal and home I’ll run,

Hey tank-toodle all the day.



Get your dog and bring your gun,

Hey  tank-toodle all the day,

We’ll go a hunting and have a little fun,

Hey  tank-toodle all the day.



Now my love’s gone floating down the river,

Hey  tank-toodle all the day,

If I had my boat I’d go along with her,

Hey tank-toodle all the day.



An old gray goose went swimming down the river,

Hey tank-toodle all the day,

If I was a gander I’d be with her,

Hey  tank-toodle all the day.



Chickens a-crowing in the Sourwood mountain,

Chickens a-crowing for day,

Come my love, it’s time for to go,

Hey  tank toodle all the day.
