Turpentine, dandelion wine
|
Turnin' the corner and I'm doin' fine
|
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line
|
Pickin' 'em off with this gun of mine
|
I got a fire in my belly, fire in my head
|
Gonna hi-di-ha 'til I'm dead
|
|
Sister Sue, short and stout
|
She didn't grow up she grew out
|
Mama thinks she's pretty and she's being kind
|
Papa thinks she's lovely and he's half blind
|
Don't let her out much except at night
|
I don't care 'cause I'm all right
|
|
Oh the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
|
And the young folks lay on the floor
|
Oh the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
|
Keep them bad times away from my door
|
|
Brother Gene, he's big and mean,
|
But don't have much to say
|
He had a little woman that he'd whup each day
|
But now she's gone away
|
He got drunk last night, kickin' Mama down the stairs
|
I'm all right and I don't care
|
|
Oh the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
|
And the young folks lay on the floor
|
Oh the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
|
Keep them bad times away from my door
|
