Possum Holler

As time goes by the tales grow taller
 About possum in Possum Holler
 As a young man I'd go a courtin'
 With my sweetheart so young and fair
 Down the mountain to Possum Holler
 That's where he'd always find me waitin' there
 Now I tell my mama that I's goin' out walking
 Neath the moonlight so bright and fair
 And I'd tell daddy I was huntin' possum
 And take off a grinnin' and a slickin' down my hair
 As time goes by the tales grow taller
 About possum in Possum Holler
 Then one evening in Possum Holler
 My sweetheart's daddy stopped all our fun
 Yeah we got married in Possum Holler
 Just you and me my daddy and daddy's gun
 As time goes by the tales grow taller
 About possum in Possum Holler
 Now when they see a possum hunter
 Young and handsome and a smellin' fair
 We just lean back and bust our laughin'
 'Cause we know there ain't no possum there
 As time goes by the tales grow taller
