Hold The Woodpile Down
Vo 5151

Saw my love the other night. (Hold the woodpile down,)
Everything wrong, just a-nothing was right. (Hold the woodpile down.)
Gave me a love lick to make me glad. (Hold the woodpile down,)
I kissed her and here come her dad. (Hold the woodpile down.)

CHORUS: But I was a-traveling, traveling,
As long as the world goes round,
For the backyard shine on the Georgia Line.
Hold the woodpile down.

Come to town the other night,
Heard a little noise, and I seen a little fight.
Police watching and a-running all around.
Load of moonshine done come to town. CHORUS

Storekeeper swallowed a nickel one day.
Run him 'most crazy, I must say.
Oh, listen now and I'll you all it's about.
He's a nickel in and a nickel out. CHORUS

Down to the packing house, stole a ham.
Folks don't know how bad I am.
Carried it home as I laid it on the shelf.
Just so bad, I'm scared of myself. CHORUS

Love my wife. I love my baby.
Love them biscuits floating in gravy.
Carry my dice for to throw my passes.
Love them flapjacks floating in molasses. CHORUS
