Subject: Lyr Add: GAL FROM POSSUM HOLLER (Homer & Jethro)
Gee, I wish I could figure out the line break thing... Oh well, here's another, but this one is only approximate. I no longer own a copy, so I have to guess on this and leave out the last verse. Maybe someone knows the correct version. It's a killer:
THE GAL FROM POSSUM HOLLER [To the tune of "The Girl From Ipanema" by Carlos Jobim.]
Short and fat and mean and sassy The gal from Possum Holler comes passing And when she passes, the guys she passes go "Bleah..."
When she goes by walking, from the back She looks like two bobcats fighting in a tater sack And when she passes, the guys she passes go, "Bleah..."
Oh, how that woman can bug me I'd die if I thought that she loved me She has such an excess of ugly That each day when she goes to the 'crick' Even the catfish get sick [...]
Gern: Nowadays you don't have to do anything special to get line breaks. They will appear just as you typed them. --JoeClone, 18-Sep-03.
