Sourwood Mountain Songtext
von Carolina Chocolate Drops

Chickens a-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,
She won't come and I′m too lazy.


Big dog bark and little one bite you,
Big girl court and little one spite you.

My true love′s a blue-eyed daisy,
If I don't get her, I′ll go crazy.

My true love lives at the head of the holler,
She won't come and I won′t foller.

My true love lives over the river,
A few more jumps and I'll be with her.

Ducks in the pond, geese in the ocean,
Devil′s in the women if they take a notion.
