I walked out on the front porch an' I hollered



An' them dogs

An' them dogs

An' them dogs come out from under the house barkin'



An' them dogs

An' them dogs come out from under the house barkin'



They knew we was goin' coon huntin'

They knew we was goin' coon huntin'



An' them dogs

An' them dogs 



We started huntin', oh, we was havin' such a fine time

Give everything a sportin' chance



Whatever you do, give it a sportin' chance



An' them dogs

An' them dogs

An' them dogs come out from under the house barkin'



We started huntin'

We started huntin'



An' them dogs

We started huntin', oh, we was havin' such a fine time



When you free a coon, hold the dogs and cut the tree down, or either climb the tree and make the coon jump in amongst the dogs.
