Cat. #0631 (MFH #343) - As sung by Paralee Weddington, Busch, Arkansas on March 7, 1968
VERSE 1
I left th party early
It was scarcely after nine
An' by some sad misfortune
Their room lay next to mine
VERSE 2
An' like ole brave Columbus
New regions to explore
I took up my po-sition
At th keyhole in th door
VERSE 3
They begin then to un-robing
She took off her white dress
Then off some under garments
Some fifty more or less
VERSE 4
I could not say fer cert'n
But I think it was a score
I could not count correctly
Through th keyhole in th door
VERSE 5
Then down upon th carpet
She dropped some of her prettys
Pulled her spotted linens
Above her snow white knees
VERSE 6
Her dainty sky blue garters
Above each knee she wore
It was one glorious picture
Through th keyhole in th door
VERSE 7
My hair stood up like bristles
On a wild an angry boar
My Lord, I felt like chop'n
Thru th keyhole in th door
VERSE 8
Then down upon her pillow
She lay her weary head
Th lights, they were extinguished
An' darkness filled th bed
VERSE 9
No use to stay there longer
For I knew that show was o'er
So I gave up my po-sition
At th keyhole in th door
