Hillbilly Hula Gal - Junior Brown

Way out in the island with the coconut tree

With the pearly shells and the tropical breeze

There’s a hillbilly girl from Tennessee

My hillbilly hula gal

She’s had enough of the hills and me

So she’s taken to the lessons in Waikiki

I guess she’s right where she wants to be

My hillbilly hula gal

She dances with wahini’s in the islands now

She’s trying to do the hula but she don’t know how

She’s got the poniola’s in her own corral

She feeds them grits and gravy at the old luau

The Blue Grass hills and the Mountain Dew

Wait till she leaves Honolulu

She better come home like she’s suppose to do

My hillbilly hula gal

Now she looks twice as good in a little grass skirt

Than overalls and a tore up shirt

But corn don’t grow in lava dirt

My hillbilly hula gal

There’s smiles on the faces if the island boys

Cause her southern drawl gives a big enjoy

She can’t churn butter when she’s dipping that poi

My hillbilly hula gal

Now she never used to give a hoot for coconuts or taro root

She’s a country gal living in the islands now

She’s trying to get the hula girl to show her how

When she gets through with this fantasy

Just come on back to Tennessee

Back with me where she’s suppose to be

My hillbilly hula gal, my hillbilly hula gal
