Sourwood Mountain Lyrics

Woody Guthrie Sourwood Mountain

Chickens a-crowin' on Sourwood Mountain, Hey, ho, diddle-um day. So many pretty girls I can't count 'em, Hey ho, diddle-um day.

My true love's a blue-eyed daisy, She won't come and I'm too lazy.

Big dog bark and little one bite you, Big girl court and little one spite you.

My true love's a blue-eyed daisy, If I don't get her, I'll go crazy.

My true love lives at the head of the holler, She won't come and I won't foller.

My true love lives over the river, A few more jumps and I'll be with her.

Ducks in the pond, geese in the ocean, Devil's in the women if they take a notion.
