[Chorus]
As time goes by the tales grow taller
About possum in Possum Holler
[Verse 1]
As a young man I'd go a courtin'
With my sweetheart so young and fair
Down the mountain to Possum Holler
That's where he'd always find me waitin' there
[Verse 2]
Now I tell my mama that I's goin' out walking
Neath the moonlight so bright and fair
And I'd tell daddy I was huntin' possum
And take off a grinnin' and a slickin' down my hair
[Chorus]
As time goes by the tales grow taller
About possum in Possum Holler
[Verse 3]
Then one evening in Possum Holler
My sweetheart's daddy stopped all our fun
Yeah we got married in Possum Holler
Just you and me my daddy and daddy's gun
[Chorus]
As time goes by the tales grow taller
About possum in Possum Holler
[Verse 4]
Now when they see a possum hunter
Young and handsome and a smellin' fair
We just lean back and bust our laughin'
'Cause we know there ain't no possum there
[Chorus]
As time goes by the tales grow taller
About possum in Possum Holler
About possum in Possum Holler
As time goes by the tales grow taller
About possum in Possum Holler
[Verse 1]
As a young man I'd go a courtin'
With my sweetheart so young and fair
Down the mountain to Possum Holler
That's where he'd always find me waitin' there
[Verse 2]
Now I tell my mama that I's goin' out walking
Neath the moonlight so bright and fair
And I'd tell daddy I was huntin' possum
And take off a grinnin' and a slickin' down my hair
[Chorus]
As time goes by the tales grow taller
About possum in Possum Holler
[Verse 3]
Then one evening in Possum Holler
My sweetheart's daddy stopped all our fun
Yeah we got married in Possum Holler
Just you and me my daddy and daddy's gun
[Chorus]
As time goes by the tales grow taller
About possum in Possum Holler
[Verse 4]
Now when they see a possum hunter
Young and handsome and a smellin' fair
We just lean back and bust our laughin'
'Cause we know there ain't no possum there
[Chorus]
As time goes by the tales grow taller
About possum in Possum Holler
About possum in Possum Holler
