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
