Possum Holler Lyrics - Dolly Parton

As time goes by the tales grow taller 

About possum in Possum Holler 

As a young man I'd go a courtin' 

With my sweetheeart so young and fair 

Down the mountain to Possum Holler 

That's where he'd always find me waitin' there 

Now I tell my mama that I's goin' out walking 

Neath the moonlight so bright and fair 

And I'd tell daddy I was huntin' possum 

And take off a grinnin' and a slickin' down my hair

Then one evening in Possum Holler 

My sweetheart's daddy stopped all our fun 

Yeah we got married in Possum Holler 

Just you and me my daddy and daddy's gun

Now when they see a possum hunter 

Young and handsome and a smellin' fair 

We just lean back and bust our laughin' 

Cause we know there ain't no possum there 

As time goes by the tales grow taller
