Barefoot Nellie Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

Red headed picker was sittin' on a limb Ma said chicken but Nellie shot him 

Wrung his neck and picked him clean the funiest chicken I've ever seen 

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me 

Now Nelie put on her Sunday dress she thought that it would look the best 

Made out of an old beet sack old beet rope around the back 

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me 

[ el.banjo - fiddle ] 

Now Nellie went to town one day a ridin' on a bale o'hay 

Sold a man a trip to Mars now she sits behind the bars 

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me 

Now Nellie's got a pair of shoes and she can wear 'em if she choose 

Why the heck she's got the blues wants to wear a size twenty two 

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me 

[ fiddle ] 

Picked a little hog walk in the luck he made three tracks just one duck 

Nellie said who you think I am that hog's missin' about one hen 

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me 

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me
