Billy Bragg - Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key lyrics

402 Dec 26 Cynthia Baran (2921) world's funniest joke

I lived in a place called Okfuskee

and I had a little girl in a holler tree

I said, little girl, it's plain to see,

ain't nobody that can sing like me

ain't nobody that can sing like me

She said it's hard for me to see

how one little boy got so ugly

Yes, my little girly, that might be,

But there ain't nobody that can sing like me

Ain't nobody that can sing like me

[chorus:]

Way over yonder in the minor key

Way over yonder in the minor key

there ain't nobody that can sing like me

We walked down by the Buckeye Creek

to see he frog eat the goggle eye bee

To hear that west wind whistle to the east,

there ain't nobody that can sing like me

ain't nobody that can sing like me

Oh my little girly will you let me see,

where over yonder where the wind blows free

Nobody can see in our holler tree

and there ain't nobody that can sing like me

ain't nobody that can sing like me

[chorus]

Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree

and laid it on to she and me

It stung lots worse than a hive of bees

but there ain't nobody that can sing like me

ain't nobody that can sing like me

Now I have walked a long long ways

and I still look back to my tanglewood days,

I've led lots of girlies since then to stray

saying, ain't nobody that can sing like me

ain't nobody that can sing like me

[chorus x 2]

ain't nobody that can sing like me
