Well,
I just went down
to the square dance callin',
I thought I'd say a fight
But I found out that I was a welcome,
I go back every night
They had the best of a old -time fiddlin'
and their music had a solid sound
Lord, got such a wonderful feelin'
When they really let the hammer down
I started swayin' to the rhythm
of the fiddler's bow
I heard the playin' and the
plunkin' of an old banjo
Well, the pretty girls are waitin'
just to pitch a little woo
A barrel in the kitchen
full of old mountain dew
Grandpas are kickin' and
a -stompin' around
While grandmas are givin' him
an awful frown
And you ought to see them,
when they really lift the ham
mer down
I really like to dance in O .K. County
down in Arkansas.
The old folk seems to
get much younger
when the band plays the perky
and the straw
Everybody knows that they are welcome
to the old Pat County hoedown
And Saturday night you will
find me a -waitin'
when they really let the hammer down
I started swayin' to the rhythm
of the fiddler's bow
I heard the playin' and the
plunkin' of an old banjo
Well, the pretty girls are waitin'
just to pitch a little roo
A barrel in the kitchen
full of old -mountain goo
And grandpas are kickin' and
a -stompin' around
While grandmas are givin' him
an awful frown
Y 'all deceivin' when they
really let the hammer down
