Possum Holler Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

As time goes by the tales grow taller about possum in Possum Holler 

As a young man I'd go a courtin' with my sweetheart 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 walkin' 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 

As time goes by the tales grow taller about possum in Possum Holler 

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 

As time goes by the tales grow taller about possum in Possum Holler 

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 about possum in Possum Holler 

About possum in Possum Holler
