Ain't That Skippin' And Flyin'
Allen Brothers

Went out on the mountain
I didnt go there to stay
I fell in love with a pretty little girl
You ought to have me stay

Aint that skippin and flyin my gal , aint that skippin and flyin

Went out on the mountain
I gave my horn a blow
You ought to seen those pretty little girls
Come running to the door

Aint that skippin and flyin my gal , aint that skippin and flyin

Wouldnt marry a poor girl
I'll tell you the reason why
Shes so tall and skinny
She'd make the biscuits fry

Aint that skippin and flyin my gal , aint that skippin and flyin

Wouldnt marry a rich gal
I'll tell you the reason why
Her hair is so long and stringy
I'm afraid she'd never die

Aint that skippin and flyin my gal , aint that skippin and flyin

Wouldnt marry a black gal
I'll tell you the reason why
Shes so black and greasy
I'm afraid she'd moan and pine

Aint that skippin and flyin my gal , aint that skippin and flyin

Went to see my sweetheart
She called me sugar plum
She threw her arms around my neck
Well i thought my time had come

Aint that skippin and flyin my gal , aint that skippin and flyin
