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'd tell my mama that I was goin' out walkin'
'Neath the moonlight so bright and fair
And I'd tell daddy I was huntin' possums
And take off a-grinnin' and 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 we see a possum hunter
Young and handsome and a-smellin' fair
We just lean back and bust out laughin'
'Cause we know there ain't no possums there
