Went to see my love the other night
Hold the woodpile down
Everything was wrong and nothing was right
Hold the woodpile down
She hit me a little bit, it made me glad
Hold the woodpile down
I kissed her once she said “here comes my dad”
Hold the woodpile down
Lord, I was travelin’, travelin’
As long as the world goes round
Pretty gal shine on the Georgia line
Hold the woodpile down
When I went to town the other night
Hold the woodpile down
I heard a little noise and seen a big fight
Hold the woodpile down
There’s a lot of policemen running around
Hold the woodpile down
Big load of moonshine came to town
Hold the woodpile down
I went down to the packing house and stole a ham
Hold the woodpile down
Nobody don’t know how mean I am
Hold the woodpile down
I took it right home and laid it on the shelf
Hold the woodpile down
I’m so mean I’m afraid of myself
Hold the woodpile down
A bookkeeper swallowed a nickel one day
Hold the woodpile down
Well I drove him crazy, so they say
Hold the woodpile down
Just listen and I’ll tell you what it’s all about
Hold the woodpile down
It’s a nickel in and a nickel out
Hold the woodpile down
