East Tennessee Swing

Head up yonder till you see the porch lights
Gonna pick and sing and dance all night
Shake and howdy and pull on the jug
Get em in tune and trow back the rug
There's uncle Joe with sweet Savannah
The prettiest girl in East Tennessee
Cousin Jake, Grant and Amanda
With a rhubarb pie made just for me

The cows are milked and the chickens are fed
Got a pot of soup beans and pone of cornbread
Might be here til the break of dawn
Cause Grandma's got here dancing shoes on
Billy's got his eye on Maggie
Maggie's got here eye on Jed
Jed's so dumb he can't hear the fiddle
He's got his eye on the beans and bread

Fire on the Mountain and the Cannonball Rag
Then Sally Gooding don't let her drag
Grab you partner it's a rig and jig
Cut her loose now and have another swig
Looky yonder boys it's almost sun up
We've pick'd and danced til the brea of day
Break me off a cup of that coffee
We'll pick a few more before we hit the hay
