Testo Dooley - The Dillards
Testo della canzone Dooley (The Dillards), tratta dall'album Country Hits, Vol. 1
Now Dooley was a good old man
Lived below the mill
Dooley had two daughters
And a forty gallon still
One gal watched the boiler
The other watched the spout
And mama corked the bottles
When old Dooley fetched them out
Dooley, slipping up the holler
Dooley, trying to make a dollar
Dooley, give me a swallow
And I'll pay you back someday
The revenuers came for him
Slipping through the woods
But Dooley kept behind them all
And never lost his goods
Now Dooley was a trader
When into town he'd come
Sugar by the bushel
And molasses by the drum
Dooley, slipping up the holler
Dooley, trying to make a dollar
Dooley, give me a swallow
And I'll pay you back someday
Now I remember very well
The day old Dooley died
The womenfolk looked sorry
And the men stood around and cried
Now Dooley's on the mountain
He lies there all alone
They put a jug beside him
And a barrel for a stone
Dooley, slipping up the holler
Dooley, trying to make a dollar
Dooley, give me a swallow
And I'll pay you back someday
And I'll pay you back someday
