I once went a courtin';

Down in 'ol Alabama.

I brought along a donkey;

and a slice of salama!

I saw her there a sitting;

in a dirty lawn chair,

And asked her nicely

to watch Yogi Bear.

Gom-yey-on-yo!

Crying all night long;

Gom-yey-onnnnn-yo!!

That's the name of this song.

I once digged me a hole;

down in 'ol Tennesee.

I brought along a pickle;

and a little monkey.

I saw her there a sitting;

on a rusty old chair;

and asked her while crying;

to please sniff my hair!!!

Gom-yey-on-yo!

Crying all night long;

Gom-yey-onnnnn-yo!!

That's the name of this song.
