I got a girl in the Sourwood Mountain hi ho didle oh day
She won't come and I won't caught her hi ho didle oh day
Hey old man I want your daughter hi ho didle oh day
Bake my bread and carry my water hi ho didle oh day

[ mandolin ]

Rooster crow on the Sourwood Mountain hi ho didle oh day
So many pretty girls I can't count them hi ho didle oh day
Big girls love the little ones spite you hi ho didle oh day
Big dogs bark and little dogs bite you hi ho didle oh day

[ banjo ]

Kiss me quick and stop your talkin' hi ho didle oh day
Sheriff sheriff can opposy hi ho didle oh day
Someone stole my darling plossy hi ho didle oh day
