lyrics

================================================

Now Dooley was a good ol' man
He lived below the mill
Dooley had two daughters
And a forty-gallon still
One gal watched the boiler
The other watched the spout
And mama corked the bottles
When ol' Dooley fetched them out

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
A-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 drum

Now I remember very well
The day ol' Dooley died
The women folk looked sorry
And the men stood 'round & cried
Now Dooley's on the mountain
He lies there all alone
They put a jug beside him
And a barrel for a stone

Dooley, slippin' up the holler
Dooley, tryin' to make a dollar
Dooley, give me a swaller
And I'll pay you back some day

I'll pay you back someday . . .
