SOURWOOD MOUNTAINS.
I’ve got a girl in the Sourwood Mountains,
She’s gone cripple an’ blin’,
She’s broke the heart of many a pore feller,
But she ain’t broke this’n o’ mine.
I’ve got a girl in the bend o’ the river
Taddle-tink-tank-toodle all the day,
A hop and a jump and I’ll be with her,
Taddle-tink-tank-toodle all the day.
I’ve got a love in the Buffalo holler,
Taddle-tink-tank-toodle all the day.
She wouldn’t come an’ it’s I won’t call her,
Taddle-tink-tank-toodle all the day.
Now my love went a floatin’ down the river,
Taddle-tink-tank-toodle all the day.
If I had my boat I’d a went with her,
Taddle-tink-tank-toodle all the day.
And old grey goose went a swinnin’ down the river,
Taddle-tink-tank-toodle all the day,
Ef I was a gander I’d a went with her,
Taddle-tink-tank-toodle all the day.
