tennessee ernie ford – goober peas lyrics
sitting by the roadside on a summer’s day
chatting with my mess-mates, p-ssing time away
lying in the shadows underneath the trees
goodness, how delicious, eating goober peas.
peas, peas, peas, peas
eating goober peas
goodness, how delicious,
eating goober peas.
when a horse-man p-sses, the soldiers have a rule
to cry out their loudest, “mister, here’s your mule!”
but another custom, enchanting-er than these
is wearing out your grinders, eating goober peas.
peas, peas, peas, peas
eating goober peas
goodness, how delicious,
eating goober peas.
just before the battle, the general hears a row
he says “the yanks are coming, i hear their rifles
now.”
he looks down the roadway, and what d’ya think he sees?
the georgia militia cracking goober peas.
peas, peas, peas, peas
eating goober peas
goodness, how delicious,
eating goober peas.
i think my song has lasted just about enough.
the subject is interesting, but the rhymes are mighty
rough.
i wish the war was over, so free from rags and fleas
we’d kiss our wives and sweethearts, say good-bye to
goober peas.
peas, peas, peas, peas
eating goober peas
goodness, how delicious,
eating goober peas.
