PETE THE BEST COON DOG IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE - Excerpt
Tom T. Hall

Now boys, get the skillet, some flour and wheat(?).
We're gonna have a big coon to eat.
Old Pete's got 'im a-runnin' and he'll tree 'im, I say.
He's the fastest coon dog in the state of Tennessee today.

CHORUS: Run, Pete, run. Buddy(?), you get the gun.

Run, Pete, run. Buddy(?), you get the gun.
Pete's the best coon dog in the state of Tennessee today.

Now boys, get the dogs, load 'em in....
