SOURWOOD MOUNTAIN Sung by: Mrs. W.B. (Elizabeth) Apple Recorded in Huff, AR 8/27/62 Click here to listen to the original recording Hetty ing da diddle oddle day. So many pretty girls I can't count them, Hetty ing da diddle oddle day. My true love, she lives in the . . . Hetty ing da diddle oddle day. She won't come, and I won't fetch her, Hetty ing da diddle oddle day. My true love's a blue-eyed daisy, Hetty ing da diddle oddle day. If I don't get her, I'll go crazy, Hetty ing da diddle oddle day. Big dogs bark, little dog bite you, Hetty ing da diddle oddle day. Big girl court, little girl slight you, Hetty ing da diddle oddle day. My true love lives up the river, Hetty ing da diddle oddle day. Few more jumps, and I'll be with her, Hetty ing da diddle oddle day. My true love lives in the holler, Hetty ing da diddle oddle day. She won't come, and I won't foller. Hetty ing da diddle oddle day. Also found in Randolph, Vol. III, #417; Brown, Vol. III, #251. |
