| Once upon a time on a dark lovers' lane
|
| Had a big jog o' whiskey and a full moon to blame
|
| I asked if you could tell me what you were thinkin' of
|
| You didn’t even blush when you said"hillbilly love"
|
| I knew that you weren’t jokin' when you started to proceed
|
| To take the kind of lovin' only hillbillies need
|
| But just about that time came a light from above
|
| The officer spat when he saw hillbilly love
|
| Chorus:
|
| Hillbilly love, it came from the east
|
| It ain’t no kinda lovin' for no man or no beast
|
| Hillbilly love, it moved to the west
|
| It’s the kinda lovin' that we all love the best
|
| They dragged me down to central, was the worst of my fears
|
| Stood me right on up in front of 12 of my peers
|
| Judge asked the sheriff what was I accused of
|
| Someone screamed when the sheriff said «hillbilly love»
|
| Sheriff gave a hand, picked the judge up off the floor
|
| Judge stood on up and said to please tell him more
|
| Sheriff said ain’t kidding when push came to shove
|
| he could tell by the smell it was hillbilly love
|
| Chorus.
|
| I prayed to be delivered, I cried and then I wailed
|
| But they gave me my deliverance in the Horton County jail
|
| I’m hopin' that someday I’ll get a pardon from the Gov.,
|
| But until that day comes I’m gettin' hillbilly love |
