Subject: Lyr Add: I WON'T GO HUNTING WITH YOU JAKE^^
I WON'T GO HUNTING WITH YOU JAKE

It's springtime in the mountains and I'm full of mountain dew
Cant even read my catalog like I used to do
I'm settin' in that little shed thats right back of the house
Here comes Jake with all his hounds
And he's gonna hear me shout
"I wont go hunting with you Jake but, I'll go chasing women
So, put the hounds back in the pen and quit your silly grinnin'
The moon is right and I'm half tight,
My life is just beginning
I wont go hunting with you Jake, but, I'll go chasing women"

Let's go down to the meetin' house and wait til they start home
Them gals that come from Possum Crick will always leave alone
We'll run them down the corn rows them sassy little misses
We'll scare them purty gals to death
We'll stop and throw them kisses."

chorus

So, wash your face and comb your hair
It's time for us to start
But, let me tell you 'fore we go
There's one thats got my heart
Dont chase the one with the yellow hair
Wearin' the dress of green
That little gal belongs to me
I know she's past 16.

chorus

I went to town the other day and look at what I seen
They make them in the city, it's called a magazine
I turned to page 32, and look at what I found
Them gals wear clothes that we aint seen
Beneath them gingham gowns

chorus^^
