Subject: RE: I Got A Gal/ Rooster Crow On Sourwood Mt.
How about;

Chicken crowin' on Sourwood Mountain Hey deing dang diddle ally day

My True love, she lives in Letcher Hey deing dang....

So many pretty girls, I can't count 'em ..

She won't come and I won't fetch her ..

My true love lives up the river, Few more jumps and I'll be with her, My true love lives up the holler, She won't come and I won't foller.

Some of these days before too long, I'll get a gal and a home I'll run. Big dog bark and the little on bite you, Big gal cout and the little one'll marry you.

From an old music book 'Around the World' book six 1958

Oh.. and the title is Sourwood Mountian. The book says, Kentucky Mountian Song for who wrote it.
