Dooley
Lyricist:Rodney Dillard, Mitch Jayne
Dooley was a good old man He lived below the mill Dooley had two daughters And a forty-gallon still
One gal watched the boiler The other watched the spout And mama corked the bottles And old Dooley fetched 'em out
Dooley slippin' up the holler Dooley tryin' to make a dollar Dooley give me a swaller And I'll pay you back someday
The revenuers came for him A-slippin' though the woods But Dooley kept behind them all And never lost his goods
Dooley was a trader When into town he'd come Sugar by the bushel Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And molasses by the drum
Dooley slippin' up the holler Dooley tryin' to make a dollar Dooley gimme a swaller And I'll pay you back someday
I remember very well The day old Dooley died The women folk looked sorry And the men stood 'round and cried
Now Dooley's on the mountain He lies there all alone They put a jug beside him And a barrel for his stone
Dooley slippin' up the holler Dooley tryin' to make a dollar Dooley gimme a swaller And I'll pay you back someday And I'll pay you back someday
