Dooley — текст песни (Kingston Trio)

Mitchell Jayne/Rodney Dillard

(One for the money, two for the show, possum up the gum tree, do-si-do!

Dooley was a good old man. He lived beyond the mill. Dooley had two daughters and a forty-gallon still.
One gal watched the boiler, the other watched the spout. Mama corked the bottles and old Dooley fetched them out.

Chorus:
Dooley, slippin` up the hollar. Dooley, tryin` to make a dollar. Dooley, give me a swaller and I`ll pay you back some day.
(Repeat last time.)

The revenuers came for him, a-slippin` through the woods but Dooley kept behind them all and never lost his goods.
Dooley was a trader when into town he come. Sugar by the bushel and molasses by the ton.

(Chorus)

I remember, very well, the day old Dooley died. The woman folk looked sorry and the men sat around and cried.
Now, Dooley`s on the mountain, he lies there, all alone. They put a jug beside him and a barrel for a stone.

(Chorus)

I`ll pay you back some day. I`ll pay you back some day.
