Addie Graham — Long and a Country Jake lyrics

Lyrics

He was just along at the country Jake from way out west where the?
6 feet tall in his stocking feet and it kept getting center dinner thinner the
more he eat
he was brave as he was then and the war broke out he got right in unhitched his
plow put his mule away and the old folks heard him say goodbye ma and a good
bye pa goodbye mule with the old hee haw you may not know what the war’s about
but you bet by gosh I’ll soon find out
oh my sweet heart don’t you fear I’ll bring you a King for a souvenir
I’ll bring you a Turk and a?
Or two that’s about all 1 fellow can do
two pairs of socks for his only load when he struck for town by the old dirt
road
he went right up to the public Square and fell right in with the soldiers there
soldiers put him on uniform and the gown and mits were to keep him warm
they drilled him hard and they drilled him long and he sang this farewell song
goodbye ma and goodbye pa goodbye mule with the old hee haw
you may not know what the war is about but you bet by gosh I’ll soon find out
oh my sweet heart don’t you fear I’ll bring you a king for a souvenir I’ll
bring you a turkey and a?
Or two that’s about all one fellow can do
