1
Dooley was a good ole man
2
He lived below the mill
3
Dooley had two daughters
4
And a forty-gallon still
5
One gal watched the boiler
6
The other watched the spout
7
And mama corked the bottles
8
And ole Dooley fetched 'em out.
9
Dooley slippin' up the holler
10
Dooley try to make a dollar
11
Dooley give me a swaller
12
And I'll pay you back someday.
13
The revenuers came for him
14
A-sippin' though the woods
15
Dooley kept behind them all
16
And never lost his goods
17
Dooley was a trader
18
When into town he'd come
19
Sugar by the bushel
20
And molasses by the ton.
21
Dooley slippin' up the holler
22
Dooley try to make a dollar
23
Dooley gimme a swaller
24
And I'l pay you back someday.
25
I remember very well
26
The day ole Dooley died
27
The women folk weren't sorry
28
And the men stood round and cried
29
Now Dooleys on the mountain
30
He lies there all alone
31
They put a jug beside him
32
And a barrel for his stone.
33
Dooley slippin' up the holler
34
Dooley try to make a dollar
35
Dooley gimme a swaller
36
And I'll pay you back someday.
