Gray Cat on a Tennessee Farm

Talk to the man who can if you will

prosper in the valley of the Tennessee hills.

 

Oh, the big cat spit in the little kitten's eye

Little cat, little cat don't you cry

I do love liquor and we'll all take a dram,

I'm going to tell you, pretty Polly Ann

 

Cattle in the pasture, hogs in the pen,

Sheep on the ranch and wheat in the bin.

 

Wagon in the shed, porter in the yard,

Meat in the smokehouse, big can of lard.

 

Fruit in the cellar, cheese on the board, 

Big sack of coffee and sugar in the gourd.

 

Horse in the stable, money in the pocket

Baby in the cradle and a pretty girl to rock it.

 

Recorded in October, 2001. Bill Van Vugt: guitar and vocal. Nick Kroes: fretless banjo (gCGCD), mando and vocal.
