Στίχοι

[Verse 1]
Dooley was a good old man, he lived below the mill
Dooley had two daughters and a 40 gallon still
One gal watched the boiler, the other watched the spout
And Mama corked the bottles when old Dooley fetched 'em out
[Verse 2]
Dooley slippin' up the holler, Dooley tryna make a dollar
Dooley, give me a swaller and I'll pay you back someday
[Verse 3]
The revenuers came for him, a'slippin' through the woods
Dooley kept behind them all and never lost his goods
Dooley was a trader, when into town he'd come
Sugar by the bushel and molasses by the ton
[Verse 4]
Dooley slippin' up the holler, Dooley tryna make a dollar
Dooley, give me a swaller and I'll pay you back someday
[Verse 5]
I remember very well the day old Dooley died
The womenfolk looked sorry and the men stood round and cried
Now Dooley's on the mountain and he lies there all alone
They put a jug beside him and a barrel for his stone
[Verse 6]
Dooley slippin' up the holler, Dooley tryna make a dollar
Dooley, give me a swaller and I'll pay you back someday
And I'll pay you back someday
