Chorus:
| C | |
| Uncle | Reuben caught a coon, done gone, |
Chick-a-chick, done gone,
Chick-a-chick, done gone, chick-a-chick,
Uncle Reuben caught a coon, done gone,
| G7 | C | |
| Chick-a-chick, and | left me here be | hind. |
Verses:
| C |
| Rabbit runnin' through the grass, |
| G7 | |
| Foxes close be | hind, |
| C |
| Trees and weeds and cockleburrs |
| G7 | C | |
| Is | all the foxes | find. |
Possum up a 'simmon tree,
Raccoon on the ground,
Raccoon say, "Mr. Possum,
Won't you shake one 'simmon down?"
If you don't love me, Liza Jane,
Put your hand in mine,
You won't lack for no corn-bread
As long as the sun do shine.
Fly Around My Blue-Eyed Gal
Chorus:
| G |
| Fly around my blue-eyed gal, |
Fly around my daisy,
Fly around my blue-eyed gal,
You almost drove me crazy.
Verses:
Once I had a fortune,
I laid it in a trunk,
Lost it all a-gambling
One night when I got drunk.
Wished I was in the West country
Sittin' in a big armchair,
One arm 'round my whiskey barrel,
The other 'round my dear.
If I had a scolding wife
Tell you what I'd do,
Trade her off for a Barlow knife,
Paddle my own canoe.
It's every day and Sunday too,
It seems so dark and hazy,
I'm thinking about my blue-eyed gal,
She's done run me crazy.
If I had no horse at all,
I'd be found a-crawlin',
Up and down this rocky road
A-lookin' for my darling.
Went up on the mountain top
To give my horn a blow,
Thought I heard somebody say,
"Yonder comes my beau."
