Dooley |
Dooley was a good ol' man |
He lived below the mill |
Dooley had two daughters |
And a forty-gallon still |
One gal watched the boilers |
The other watched the spout |
And momma corked the bottles |
When ol' Dooley fetched 'em out |
Dooley, slipping up the holler |
Dooley, trying to make a dollar |
Dooley, give me a swaller |
I’ll pay you back some day |
Well the revenuers came for him |
Slipping through the woods |
Dooley kept behind 'em all |
He never lost his goods |
Dooley was a trader |
When into town he’d come |
Sugar by the bushel |
And molasses by the tub |
Dooley, slipping up the holler |
Dooley, trying to make a dollar |
Dooley, give me a swaller |
I’ll pay you back some day |
I remember very well |
The day ol' Dooley died |
The women folk looked sorry |
The men stood around and cried |
Now Dooley’s on the mountain |
He lies there all alone |
They put a jug beside him |
And a barrel for a stone |
Dooley, slipping up the holler |
Dooley, trying to make a dollar |
Dooley, give me a swaller |
I’ll pay you back some day |
I’ll pay you back some day |
