Our Singing Country
2   Jaybird up in the acorn tree, Shaking acorns down.
My true love in the sugar tree, Shakin' sugar down. {Chorus i and 2.)
3   Sixteen horses to my carriage, Drive Jem down to town; Almost break my dovey's heart
To see me hold 'em down. {Chorus 1 and 2.)
4  Built me house in Baltimore, Sixteen stories high, Every story in my house
Filled with chicken pie. {Chorus 1.)
5   Sing on the mountain hill, Sing on the mountain hill.
Sing on the mountain hill, my love, I will have my fun.
6  I'm goin' up on Grabble Dick, I'm goin' up next Friday, Pm goin' up on Grabble Dick And marry Miss Betsy, Friday.
7  I will have my fun, my love, I will have my fun,
Take my glass away from me,
I don't want no more. {Chorus 2.)
8  Jaybird pull a two-ox load, Sparrow, why not you?
My legs so long and slender, love, I'm feared I'll pull in two.
9  Feared I'll pull in two, my love, Feared I'll pull in two, Feared I'll pull in two, my love, Feared I'll pull in two.
[64]
