WHEN I TAKE MY VACATION IN THE HILLS
^^
(Jimmy Driftwood)

-Solo-

When I take my vacation in the hills
I go eating where it really got the thrills
Cornbread, pone and lime of beans
Butter, milk and turnip greens
When I take my vacation in the hills
When I take my vacation in the hills

-Solo-

Gonna catch a great big catfish by the gills
Going hunting, with that good old dog of Bill
Eat that hock or berry pie
Drink that good old mountain rye
When I take my vacation in the hills
When I take my vacation in the hills

-Solo-

When I paddle my canoe by rippling rills
You can bet your life, I'm gonna get some stills
Ev'ryone would be surprised
If I didn't get baptised
When I take my vacation in the hills
When I take my vacation in the hills

-Solo-

Gonna run around with all the Jacks and Gills
Gonna go a-courtin' in the damp o' dales
Maybe I will get the play with little Abner's Daisy May
When I take my vacation in the hills
When I take my vacation in the hills

-Solo-

When they play that mountain music in the hills
In the land of mocking birds and whippoorwills
Ev'ry night I'll do-si-do on the banks of the Buffalo
When I take my vacation in the hills
When I take my vacation in the hills
