Porter Wagoner

Porter Wagoner - Barefoot Nellie lyrics

Red headed picker was sittin' on a limb Ma said chicken but Nellie shot him

Wrung his neck and picked him clean the funiest chicken I've ever seen

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me

Now Nelie put on her Sunday dress she thought that it would look the best

Made out of an old beet sack old beet rope around the back

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me

[ el.banjo - fiddle ]

Now Nellie went to town one day a ridin' on a bale o'hay

Sold a man a trip to Mars now she sits behind the bars

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me

Now Nellie's got a pair of shoes and she can wear 'em if she choose

Why the heck she's got the blues wants to wear a size twenty two

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me

[ fiddle ]

Picked a little hog walk in the luck he made three tracks just one duck

Nellie said who you think I am that hog's missin' about one hen

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me
