Dooley Lyrics - There Is A Time 1963-70 - Dillards

Dooley was a good ole 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 

And ole Dooley fetched 'em out. 

Dooley slippin' up the holler 

Dooley try to make a dollar 

Dooley give me a swaller 

And I'll pay you back someday. 

The revenuers came for him 

A-sippin' though the woods 

Dooley kept behind them all 

And never lost his goods 

Dooley was a trader 

When into town he'd come 

Sugar by the bushel 

And molasses by the ton. 

Dooley slippin' up the holler 

Dooley try to make a dollar 

Dooley gimme a swaller 

And I'l pay you back someday. 

I remember very well 

The day ole Dooley died 

The women folk weren't sorry 

And the men stood round and cried 

Now Dooleys on the mountain 

He lies there all alone 

They put a jug beside him 

And a barrel for his stone. 

Dooley slippin' up the holler 

Dooley try to make a dollar 

Dooley gimme a swaller 

And I'll pay you back someday.
