Jimmie Driftwood - When I Take My Vacation In The Hills lyrics

rate me

(Jimmy Driftwood)

-Solo-

When I take my vacation in the hills

I go eating where it really got the thrills

Cornbread, pone and lime of beans

Butter, milk and turnip greens

When I take my vacation in the hills

When I take my vacation in the hills

-Solo-

Gonna catch a great big catfish by the gills

Going hunting, with that good old dog of Bill

Eat that hock or berry pie

Drink that good old mountain rye

When I take my vacation in the hills

When I take my vacation in the hills

-Solo-

When I paddle my canoe by rippling rills

You can bet your life, I'm gonna get some stills

Ev'ryone would be surprised

If I didn't get baptised

When I take my vacation in the hills

When I take my vacation in the hills

-Solo-

Gonna run around with all the Jacks and Gills

Gonna go a-courtin' in the damp o' dales

Maybe I will get the play with little Abner's Daisy May

When I take my vacation in the hills

When I take my vacation in the hills

-Solo-

When they play that mountain music in the hills

In the land of mocking birds and whippoorwills

Ev'ry night I'll do-si-do on the banks of the Buffalo

When I take my vacation in the hills

When I take my vacation in the hills
