This is usually credited to A. P. Carter, but the Carter Family recorded their version in 1940. This one is at least 25 years older:

From Good Old-Time Songs, Issue 3 (New York: Wehman Bros., 1914), page 111:


I'LL GIVE YOU ONE MORE AS YOU GO.

1. My sweetheart's a sly little miss,
Though a girl whom I fondly adore;
And often I ask for a kiss.
She gives me just one and no more.
I called at her house Sunday night
And asked for a kiss as her beau.
She answered: "You fright, don't squeeze me so tight.
I'll give you one more as you go.

CHORUS: "I'll give you one more as you go.
I'll give you one more as you go."
She answered: "You fright, don't squeeze me so tight.
I'll give you one more as you go."

2. Her daddy is a feeling old man.
He's always a-feeling for me!
I remember this feeling began
When I first went his daughter to see.
While bidding my sweetheart goodnight,
In the usual manner, you know,
He exclaimed with a swear, as his foot smote the air:
"I'll give you one more as you go.

CHORUS: "I'll give you one more as you go.
I'll give you one more as you go."
He exclaimed, with a swear, as his foot smote the air:
"I'll give you one more as you go."

3. Oh, that dog! oh, that dog! what a brute!
He was onto me quicker than a flash.
He was mashed on my eight-dollar suit
And to make me a subject for hash.
I jumped over the garden wall
In a manner, you bet, was not slow,
When a voice from the house I heard say: "Seek him, Towse.
Just give him one more as he goes.

CHORUS: "Just give him one more as he goes.
Just give him one more as he goes."
When a voice from the house I heard say: "Seek him, Towse.
Just give him one more as he goes."


[Some version of this song is also in Vance Randolph's Ozark Folksongs volume 3.]
