Ern & Zorry's Sneakin' Bitin' Dog Lyrics


Dori Freeman Ern & Zorry's Sneakin' Bitin' Dog

[Verse 1]
Oh the night was black as pitch when I'd give my girl a kiss
And go whistlin' up the hill back to my place
It was just a mile or two and the Appalachian dew
Would hang heavy in a mist upon my face

[Pre-Chorus]
I learned the mud-holes and the ditches
The shortcuts and the fences
I could even cross old Elk Fork on a log
But what I always feared the most, more than ol' dark holler's ghost
Was Ern and Zorry's sneakin' bitin' dog

[Chorus]
I wish they'd tie him up, that dreaded rascal pup
I'd be happy as a king upon a throne
I'd go walking bravely by with a twinkle in my eye
And whistle Mountain Dew on my way home

[Verse 2]
On the weekends I would go to the moving picture show
With my friends across the hill at Carbon Glow
Back through the darkness of the pines after watching Frankenstein
We lost no time in finding our way home

[Pre-Chorus]
We learned the mud-holes and the ditches
The shortcuts and the fences
We could even cross old Elk Fork on a log
But what we always feared the most, more than ol' dark holler's ghost
Was Ern and Zorry's sneakin' bitin' dog

[Chorus]
I wish they'd tie him up, that dreaded rascal pup
I'd be happy as a king upon a throne
I'd go walking bravely by with a twinkle in my eye
And whistle Mountain Dew on my way home
Oh, and whistle Mountain Dew on my way home
