DOWN IN THE HOLLER WHERE SALLY LIVES
(Bill Browning)
BILL BROWNING (STARDAY 488, 1960)

Well, pa's in the corncrib, ma's in the barn
I heard sis tellin' Irby a yarn
See you tonight when the moon's shinin' bright
Down in the holler where Sally lives

[Chorus]
Down in the holler where Sally lives
There's not a thing now that I wouldn't give
For just one kiss from her rosie lips
Down in the holler where Sally lives

Well, pa had a jug a-sittin' up on the shelf
I heard him say, he's gonna keep it for himself
When ma heard pa, a-pullin' the cork
She said, pa give ma just a little bitty snork

[Chorus]

Well, junior's in the corncrib, moontin' up the ears
I heard him sayin', another batch again next year
He gets the sugar and he gets the rye
He'll be drinkin' corn liquor on the day that he dies

[Chorus]
