Cat. #1448 (MFH #963) - As sung by Orville McInturff, Marshall, Arkansas on August 22, 1972
VERSE 1
Sixteen horses is my team
Leader is gone by
An' goin' down that rocky road
T' see that gal of mine
VERSE 2
Hook ole Baldy up in front
Seedum on behind
I'll beat old Baldy half t' death
To keep that wagon gwine
VERSE 3
We run off an' I broke my toe
Trouble all th time
I'm goin' down that rocky road
T' see that gal of mine
VERSE 4
Hitched my wagon to 'er door
She asked me to, come in
I kissed her right before her Ma
Though it was no sin
VERSE 5
Her Pa come chargin' 'round th barn
Shotgun blazin' fire
Sixteen horses were to slow
T' get me out'a thar
