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
