Masato, is this the ALLEN BROTHERS version you referenced above?

I've included, [bracketed], a racially offensive verse.

On the tape I have, instrumentation includes kazoo, spoons, clawhammer banjo, guitar, and maybe mouth trumpet or can you make a clarinet do that? Or maybe it's a second kazoo. Anyhow, here's what I have.

AIN'T THAT SKIPPIN' AND FLYIN'

Instrumental Intro

Went out on the mountain, I didn't go there to stay,
I fell in love with a pretty little girl, you ought to a-heard me say,
Ain't that skippin' and a-flyin' my gal, ain't that skippin' and a-flyin'?

Instrumental break

Went out on the mountain, I gave my heart a blow,
You ought to have seen those pretty little girls come runnin' to the door.
Ain't that skippin' and a-flyin' my gal, ain't that skippin' and a-flyin' ?

Instrumental break

Went out on the mountain, I didn't go there to stay,
I fell in love with a pretty little girl, you ought to a-heard me say,
Oh ain't that skippin' and a-flyin' my gal, ain't that skippin' and a-flyin' ?

Instrumental break

Wouldn't marry a pore girl, I'll tell you the reason why,
She's so tall and skinny, she'd make the fishes fly.
Oh ain't that skippin' and a-flyin' my gal, ain't that skippin' and a-flyin' ?

Instrumental break

Wouldn't marry a rich girl, I'll tell you the reason why,
Their hair so long and stringy, afraid she'd never die!
Oh ain't that skippin' and a-flyin' my gal, ain't that skippin' and a-flyin' ?

Instrumental break


[Couldn't marry a black gal, I'll tell you the reason why,
She's so black and greazey, afraid she'd mortify.*
Oh ain't that skippin' and a-flyin' my gal, ain't that skippin' and a-flyin'?]

* mortify, i.e. rot


Instrumental break

Went to see my sweetheart, she called me Sugar Plum,
She throw her arms around my neck, well I thought my time had come.
Oh ain't that skippin' and a-flyin' my gal, ain't that skippin' and a-flyin'?
