Cat. #1015 (MFH #344) - As sung by Glen Orhlin, Mountain View, Arkansas on October 7, 1969
VERSE 1
When a girly falls in love
With a little turtle dove
She lingers all around 'im at th door
She kisses him for her Mother
Her sisters an' her brothers
Till Daddy comes an' kicks him ou th door
VERSE 2
Draws a pistol from his pocket
Draws th hammer for t' cock it
She says, he gonn'na wade into th fray
His daughter said, he must'n
Good Lord, that's all he done
So he kissed all other, once again
VERSE 3
How th old maids love it
Th widows are above it
Everybody's got their finger in th pie
Some are so very haughty
They think it's rather naughty
You can bet'cher life they'll do it on th sly
VERSE 4
When a girly's seventeen
She it's rather mean
If she cain't get some poor man
She'll pucker up her mouth
In a pretty little pout
An' fumble underneath his big mustache
VERSE 5
She'll make a fellow quiver
She'll make him jump up th river
She'll stick to him like granulated glue
But don't you dare to tell 'er
Your some other girly's feller
She'll agitate your smeller, if you do
VERSE 6
Now, th old maids love it
Th widows are above it
Everybody's get their finger in th pie
Some are so very haughty
They think it's rather naughty
You can bet'cher life they'll do it on th sly
