Dooley

Dooley was a good ol' 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 Mama'd cork the bottles when ol' Dooley fetched them out Ch. Dooley slippin' up the holler...Dooley tryin' to make a dollar Dooley give me a swaller and I'll pay you back some day The revenuers came for him slippin through the woods Dooley kept behind them all and never lost his goods Now Dooley was a trader when into town he'd come Sugar by the bushel and molasses by the ton I remember very well the day ol Dooley died The women folk looked sorry and the men sat around and cried Now Dooley's on the mountain he lies there all alone They put a jug beside his head and a barrel for a stone
