Chickens 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

Hey-ho diddle-um day

She won't come and I'm too lazy

Hey-ho diddle-um day



Big dog bark, little dog bite you

Hey-ho diddle-um day

Big girl courts, little one spite you

Hey-ho diddle-um day



My true love's a blue eyed daisy

Hey-ho diddle-um day

If I don't get her, I'll go crazy

Hey-ho diddle-um day



My true love lives at the head of the hollow

Hey-ho diddle-um day

She won't come and I won't follow

Hey-ho diddle-um day



My true love lives over the river

Hey-ho diddle-um day

Few more jumps and I'll be with her

Hey-ho diddle-um day



Ducks in the pond, geese in the ocean

Hey-ho diddle-um day

Devil's in the women, if they take a notion

Hey-ho diddle-um day
