al hopkins and his buckle busters - west virginia gals lyrics

[verse 1]
come all you west virginia gals and listen to my noise
don’t you court these west virginia boys
if you do, your fortune will be
corn bread and bacon you will see
corn bread and bacon you will see

[verse 2]
when you go a courtin’ they will set you a chair
the first thing they say is, “my daddy k!lled a deer!”
next thing they say when you set down
“mammy ain’t you bakin’ your johnny cakes brown!
mammy ain’t you bakin’ your johnny cakes brown!”

[verse 3]
when they go to meetin’ i’ll tell you what to wear
scissor tail coat all ready to tear
old leather boots with the top turned down
pair of cotton socks that they wear year round
pair of cotton socks that they wear year round

[verse 4]
when they go to store, they take a turn of corn
pat of salty b+tter right fresh from the churn
store keeper says you haven’t got enough
for a plug of tobaccer and a bail of snuff
for a plug of tobaccer and a bail of snuff
[verse 5]
when they bottle ‘lasses i’ll tell you what to do
build a rock furnace without any flue
grind their cane around and around
stop the ‘lasses boiler and they set it on the ground
stop the ‘lasses boiler and they set in on the ground

[verse 6]
they build their houses with log walls
don’t have winders, none at all
clapboard roof and old slab door
sandstone chimbley and a puncheon floor
sandstone chimbley and a puncheon floor

[verse 7]
take you away to the blackjack hills
there to live and make your will
there you stay and starve in sp+ce
that is the way of the west virginia race
that is the way of the west virginia race
