Well now, I've gotta girl 

A-sweet sixteen 

Her mother wouldn't listen 

To her dreams

I know she was a-dreamin' 

She dreamed them old southern dreams 

She was the dreamest girl 

The dreamest girl I most ever seen 

Now, she dreamed I was kissin' her 

A-down by the mill 

She'd dream that she'd taken me from 

The girl on the hill 

I know she was a dreamer, now 

She dreamed them old southern dreams 

She was the dreamest girl 

The dreamest girl I most ever seen, yeah 

(harmonica & instrumental) 

Now she dreamin' I was kissin' her 

Hold her close to my breast 

She told that much a-dream, but 

She wouldn't tell the rest 

Photos 

I know she was a dreamer, now 

She dreamed them old southern dreams 

She was the dreamest girl 

The dreamest girl I most ever seen 

Well, she know'd about lovin' 

From huggin' on down 

She was the dreamest girl 

From miles around 

I know she was a dreamer 

She dreamed them old southern dreams, yeah 

She was a dreamest girl 

The dreamest girl I most ever seen 

Well, she tried to tell her mother 

A-what she did 

She talked so much 

She couldn't hardly l keep it hid 

An I know she was a dearmer 

She dreamed them old southern dreams 

She was the dreamest girl 

The dreamest girl I most ever seen. 

(harmonica & instrumental to end)
