DOLLY PARTON - Possum Holler lyrics

rate me

(Dallas Frazier)

As time goes by the tales grow taller

About possum in Possum Holler.

As a young man I'd go a courtin'

With my sweetheeart so young and fair

Down the mountain to Possum Holler

That's where he'd always find me waitin' there.

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.

As time goes by the tales grow taller

About possum in Possum Holler.

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.

As time goes by the tales grow taller

About possum in Possum Holler.

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.

As time goes by the tales grow taller

About possum in Possum Holler.

About possum in Possum Holler...
