Had a little gal and her name was Sally Goodin,
Asked her to marry me and then she said she wouldn'

Had a peice of pie and I had a peice of puddin',
And I give it all away to kiss Sally Goodin

Went up on hill to see Sally comin',
Thought to my soul I'd kill myself runnin'

Possum up a gump stump, coon up a holler,
Wish to my soul I had a silver dollar

Went to the creek, the creek was muddy,
Hugged Sally Goodin 'til she couldn't stand steady

Great mouth harp work on this 1929 recording of the traditional folk tune "Sally Goodin" by Obed "Dad" Pickard, one of the first "Grand Old Opry" performers. From original 78rpm disk.
