Porter Wagoner - Possum Holler lyrics

rate me

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 walkin' 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
