Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key

Lyrics:

• I lived in a place called Okfuskee
• And I had a little girl in a holler tree
• I said, little girl, it's plain to see
• Ain't nobody that can sing like me
• Ain't nobody that can sing like me


• She said it's hard for me to see
• How one little boy got so ugly
• Yes my little girly well that might be
• But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
• Ain't nobody that can sing like me


• Way over yonder in the minor key
• Way over yonder in the minor key
• There ain't nobody that can sing like me


• We walked down by the Buckeye Creek
• To see the frog eat the goggle-eye bee
• To hear that west wind whistle to the east
• There ain't nobody that can sing like me
• Ain't nobody that can sing like me


• Oh my little girly will you let me see
• Way over yonder where the wind blows free
• Nobody can see in our holler tree


• And here ain't nobody that can sing like me
• Ain't nobody that can sing like me


• Way over yonder in the minor key
• Way over yonder in the minor key
• There ain't nobody that can sing like me


• Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
• And laid it on the back of she and me
• It sting a lot worse than a hive of bees
• But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
• Ain't nobody that can sing like me


• Now I have walked a long long ways
• And I still look back to my Tanglewood days
• I've led lots of girls since then to stray
• Saying ain't nobody that can sing like me
• Ain't nobody that can sing like me


• Way over yonder in the minor key
• Way over yonder in the minor key
• There ain't nobody that can sing like me (repeat x 2)


• There ain't nobody that can sing like me
