Minor Key

I lived in a place called Okfuskee And I had a little girl in a holler tree I said, little girl, it's plain to see Ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me

She said it's hard for me to see How one little boy got so ugly

Yes my little girly, now, that might be

But there ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me

Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key

There ain't nobody that can sing like me

We walked down by the Buckeye Creek To see the frog eat the goggle-eye bee To hear the west wind whistle to the east There ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me

Oh my little girly won't you let me see

Way over yonder where the wind blows free Nobody can see in our holler tree

And there ain't nobody that could sing like me, Ain't nobody that can sing like me

Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key

There ain't nobody that can sing like me

Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree And laid it on the she and me

It stung lots worse than a hive of bees

But there ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me

 Now I have walked a long long ways And I still look back to my tanglewood days I've led a lot of girls since then a stray

Saying ain't nobody that can sing like me
