Possum Holler

[Chorus] As time goes by the tales grow taller About possum in Possum Holler [Verse 1] As a young man I'd go a courtin' With my sweetheart so young and fair Down the mountain to Possum Holler That's where he'd always find me waitin' there [Verse 2] Now I tell my mama that I's goin' out walking Neath the moonlight so bright and fair And I'd tell daddy I was huntin' possum And take off a grinnin' and a slickin' down my hair [Chorus] As time goes by the tales grow taller About possum in Possum Holler [Verse 3] Then one evening in Possum Holler My sweetheart's daddy stopped all our fun Yeah we got married in Possum Holler Just you and me my daddy and daddy's gun [Chorus] As time goes by the tales grow taller About possum in Possum Holler [Verse 4] Now when they see a possum hunter Young and handsome and a smellin' fair We just lean back and bust our laughin' 'Cause we know there ain't no possum there [Chorus] As time goes by the tales grow taller About possum in Possum Holler About possum in Possum Holler
