I got a girl in the Sourwood Mountain, hi ho didle oh day

She won't come and I won't call 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



--- Instrumental ---



Sarra, Sarra, let's go walkin', hi ho didle oh day

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...
