lyrics

Ain't gonna dig no ginseng,
Ain't gonna hunt no crow,
Ain't gonna do a doggone thing
But love on my sweet mama.
Hee,hee,
You can't read my mind.
When you think I'm lovin' you, mama,
I'm quitin' you all the time.
Yodel lay hee hee hee
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Yodel lay hee hee hee
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Yodel lay hee hee
Yodel lay hee hee
Yodel lay hee hee hee hee.

I ain't from here.
I'm from Caroline.
Got two kids in Georgia
But they sure ain't mine, oh, sweet mama.
Hee,hee,
You can't read my mind.
When you think I'm lovin' you, mama,
I'm quitin' you all the time.
Yodel lay hee hee hee
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Yodel lay hee hee hee
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Yodel lay hee hee
Yodel lay hee hee
Yodel lay hee hee hee hee.

Got a gal in Georgia.
Got one in Dixie, too.
Mean to me, sweet mama,
Turn my back on you, oh baby.
Hee,hee,
You can't read my mind.
When you think I'm lovin' you, mama,
I'm quitin' you all the time.
Yodel lay hee hee hee
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Yodel lay hee hee hee
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Yodel lay hee hee
Yodel lay hee hee
Yodel lay hee hee hee hee.

Ain't gonna work no tipple.
Ain't gonna load no coal.
Stick my head outside the window,
Watch my drivers roll, oh baby.
Hee,hee,
You can't read my mind.
When you think I'm lovin' you, mama,
I'm quitin' you all the time.
Yodel lay hee hee hee
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Yodel lay hee hee hee
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Yodel lay hee hee
Yodel lay hee hee
Yodel lay hee hee hee hee.

Yodel lay hee hee hee
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Yodel lay hee hee hee
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Yodel lay hee hee
Yodel lay hee hee
Yodel lay hee hee hee hee.

about

David Allen Thomas Cockeysville, Maryland

I was released in Philadelphia the same week as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I stayed there as long as I could stand, then moved to Baltimore to go to art school. I have played guitar since I was 18. I taught myself. I did it to impress the ladies. It still doesn't work. So, I sing songs about drinking, trains and women, two of which I am familiar with. ... more
