Lyrics
I got a gal on Sourwood Mountain,
Hey ho, diddleumaday.
So many pretty girls you can’t count ‘em,
Hey ho, diddleumaday.

CHORUS
Shall, shall, shally wiggle round,
Sholyanka, sholyanka, sholapoppa kiv,
Crosscut a wiggle and hoojaw long,
Hey ho, diddleumaday.

I got a gal at the head of the holler,
Hey ho, diddleumaday.
She won’t come and I won’t foller,
Hey ho, diddleumaday.

CHORUS

Down the river across the creek,
Hey ho, diddleumaday,
I don’t get a letter but once a week,
Hey ho, diddleumaday.

CHORUS

Ducks in the mill pond, geese in the ocean,
Hey ho, diddleumaday.
The devil’s in the women when they take a notion,
Hey ho, diddleumaday.

CHORUS
