A complete overhaul of a classic fiddle tune, from the 10 piece percussion section with a Bo-Diddly beat to the over-driven fiddle solo, you've never heard Sourwood Mountain like this before!
lyrics
Traditional (arranged by Ian Craig)
Chickens a-crowin' up Sourwood Mountain,
(Ho-dee-ing-dong-doodle ali day)
So many pretty girls I can't count 'em,
(Ho-dee-ing-dong-doodle ali day)
My true love lies down by the river, (Ho-de…)
A hop and a skip and I'd be with her, (Ho-de…)
Refrain
Ho-dee-oh (Ho-dee-oh)
Ho-dee-ing-dong-oodle ali day.
(Ho-dee-oh) Ho-dee-oh
(Ho-dee-ing-dong-doodle ali day)
I got a gal at the head of the holler (Ho-de…)
She won't come so I don't call her (Ho-de…)
Big dog bark and the little one bite you (Ho-de…)
Big girl court and the little one slite you(Ho-de…)
Refrain
Frogs in the pond, fish in the ocean, (Ho-de…)
Devil’s in a woman if she takes the notion,(Ho-de…)
My true love is a sun-burnt daisy, (Ho-de…)
She cain't work and I'm too lazy, (Ho-de…)
Refrain
