Sugar Don't Stop - Yankee Holler: текст песни id 24137678
Lucky old sun shines bright
Moonshine’s just right
Got a date with them Buffalo gals tonight
The Revelator will write
And bid Irene goodnight
From Mt. Big Rock Candy Top
I want some boots for to stomp
Some hands for to clap
C’mon mama where’d ya learn to dance like that?
Does «X» mark the spot
Where you last forgot
To make no plans that you can’t drop?
Cuz' we’re headed for a place where the sugar don’t stop
If I was a mole in the ground, I’d root that mountain down
And drink up a lake of whiskey brown
In Scarlet Town, Dan Tucker jumped around
From the toothache in his heel
Casey Jones wrecked the Edmund and the Old ‘97
Thank God there ain’t no depression in Heaven!
Sell the family plot and whatever else you got
Down to the last of your cane crop
Cuz' we’re headed for a place where the sugar don’t stop
There’s nothin' to report
From the wall of the fort
‘Cept Froggie went a-ridin' to divorce court
With a pistol and a sword
As his last resort
Man, can that amphibian ride!
Is Delia gone?
Lovesick? Forlorn?
Is she sleeping in the pines with John Barleycorn?
Kettle blew its black top
When we saw the cracked pot
Begged, «Please don’tcha call up the cops»
«Cuz' we’re headed for a place where the sugar don’t stop»
Got a coalmine canary name of Henry Lee
He can sing and swing like John Henry
And for a small fee he’ll distract Stackolee
While you try on his Stetson hat
Way down in the mine Henry Lee started cryin'
Cuckoo bird ain’t so pretty when he ain’t flyin'!
Don’t be so hot to trot, just cop a squat
While we close up the candy shop
Cuz' we’re headed for a place where the sugar don’t stop
I dream of Jeannie with the dyed blond hair
She’s knocking me out in her underwear
