I lived in a place called Olfuskee

I said, little girl, it's plain to see

Ain't nobody that can sing like me

Ain't nobody that can sing like me

She said, It’s hard for me to see

Yes, my little girlie that might be

We walked on down by the buckeye creek
                                    G

there ain't nobody that can sing like me

(echo) ain't nobody that can sing like me

Oh my little girlie will you let me see

Nobody can see in our holler tree

Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
                         G
and laid it on the she and me

Now I have walked a long long ways

I've led lots of girls since then to stray

saying, ain't nobody that can sing like me
D                               Em
ain't nobody that can sing like me
