Learned the following song (two songs?) from my grandfather, who lived in the VA Blue Ridge, between Covington & Hot Springs. Anyone know more veses? Real Title? One song or two?Rooster Crow On Sourwood Mountain (or) I Gotta Gal
Rooster crow(s?) on (a?) Sourwood Mountain, (All 2nd lines): Um, diddy, um, diddy-iddy-um, day, So many pretty gals, I can't count 'em, (All 4th lines): Um, diddy, um, diddy-iddy-um, day.
I got a gal, lives up the river, Hop 'n' a skip 'n' I'll be with her.
I got a gal, lives down the holler, She won't lead 'n' I won't foller.
I got a gal, she's a brown-eyed susan, 'F you don't love 'em, then you lose 'em.
I got a gal, she's a blue-eyed daisy, That little gal's gonna drive me crazy.
Repear first verse.
