possum holler

as time goes by the tales grow taller

about possum in possum hollar. as a young man i'd go a courtin'

with my sweetheart named sally blair

down the mountain to possum hollar

accidently i'd find her waitin' there. she'd tell her mama she was pickin' blossoms

by the moonlight so sweet and fair

and i'd tell daddy i'm a-huntin' possum

and take off

friend and slicken down my hair. as time goes by the tales grow taller

about possum in possum hollar. then one evening in possum hollar

sally's daddy stopped all my fun

and we got married in possum hollar

just me and sally

her daddy and his gun. now when i see ol' possum hollar

young and handsome and a fanfair

well

i just lean back

ha

and bust out laughin'

'cause i know there ain't no possums there. as time goes by the tales grow taller
