Feudin' and Fightin' Songtext
von Dorothy Shay

Beyond the busy highway
Beyond the city strife
We highly treasure
And take great pleasure
In our plain way of life
Feudin′ a-fussin' and a-fightin′
Sometimes it gets to be excitin'
Don't like them ornery neighbors
Down by the creek
We′ll be plumb out of neighbors next week
Grandma, poor old grandma
Why′d they have to shoot poor grandma
She lies 'neath the clover
Someone caught her bending over
Picking up a daisy
Feudin′ a-fussin' and a-fightin′
This is a wrong that needs a rightin'
Let′s get that funeral service over so then
We'll go feudin' and fightin′ again
Fightin′, a-feudin' and a-fussin′


That's all that′s going on with us'n
We are such neighborly people
Peaceful and sweet
All except when we happen to meet
Daughter, baby daughter
Poisoned all the neighbors chickens
Daughter shouldn′t oughtter
Least though she could run like the dickens
They hit her with a shovel
Feudin' a-fightin' and a-fussin′
No use a-standin′ here a-cussin'
Let′s give our daughter a pistol
Now that she's four
And go feudin′ and fightin' some more
Feudin′ a-fussin' and a-fightin'
This ain′t no corner you can brighten
Polish the shootin′ arm
Oh, I'm gettin′ a yen
To go a-feudin', a-fussin′
A-feudin' and a fussin′ again
