B
The song was recorded by D. G. Tiller, a student in Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, Tennessee, from the singing of James Taylor Adams, Big Laurel, Virginia.
i. Chickens crowing on Sourwood Mountain, Hey ho diddle dum dee-ay; Get your guns and we'll go hunting, Hey ho diddle dum dee-ay.
2. My true love she lives in Letcher, Hey ho diddle dum dee-ay;
She won't come and I won't fetch her, Hey ho diddle dum dee-ay.
3. My true love's a blue-eyed daisy, Hey ho diddle dum dee-ay;
If I don't get her I'll go crazy, Hey ho diddle dum dee-ay.
4. Big dog bark and little one bite you, Hey ho diddle dum dee-ay;
Big girls court and little ones slight you, Hey ho diddle dum dee-ay.
5. My true love lives up the river, Hey ho diddle dum dee-ay;
A few more jumps and I'll be with her, Hey ho diddle dum dee-ay.
6. My true love lives in the hollow, Hey ho diddle dum dee-ay;
She won't come and I won't follow, Hey ho diddle dum dee-ay. |
