Possom Hollow - George Jones

As time goes by the tales grow taller

About possum in possum hollar

As a young man I’d go a courtin'

With my sweetheart named Sally Blair

Down the mountain to possum hollar

Accidently I’d find her waitin' there

She’d tell her mama she was pickin' blossoms

By the moonlight so sweet and fair

And I’d tell daddy I’m a-huntin' possum

And take off, friend and slicken down my hair

As time goes by the tales grow taller

About possum in possum hollar

--- Instrumental ---

Then one evening in possum hollar

Sally’s daddy stopped all my fun

And we got married in possum hollar

Just me and Sally, her daddy and his gun

Now when I see ol' possum hollar

Young and handsome and a fanfair

Well, I just lean back, ha, and bust out laughin'

'Cause I know there ain’t no possums there

As time goes by the tales grow taller

About possum in possum hollar
