I went down to the mowin' field,
Turye-turye fod-a-link-e-dye-do.
I went down to the mowin' field,
Fod!
I went down to the mowin' field,
A poison serpent bit my heel,
Tu-rolly-day!
Set upon a stump for take a little rest,
Turye-turye fod-a-link-e-dye-do.
Set upon a stump for to take a little rest,
Fod!
Set upon a stump for to take a little rest,
Looked like a woodchuck on his nest,
Tu-rolly-day!
The woodchuck grinned a banjo song,
Turye-turye fod-a-link-e-dye-do.
The woodchuck grinned a banjo song.
Fod!
The woodchuck grinned a banjo song,
Up jumped a skunk with his britches on,
Tu-rolly-day!
The woodchuck 'n' skunk got into a fight,
Turye-turye fod-a-link-e-dye-do.
The woodchuck 'n' skunk got into a fight,
Fod!
The woodchuck 'n' skunk got into a fight,
Fumes so strong that they put out the light,
Tu-rolly-day!
I had an old dog with a cold, wet nose,
Turye-turye fod-a-link-e-dye-do.
I had an old dog with a cold, wet nose,
Fod!
Had an old dog with a cold, wet nose,
She caught a cold, couldn't smell clothes,
Tu-rolly-day!
I put the dog's nose in the baby's shoe,
Turye-turye fod-a-link-e-dye-do.
I put the dog's nose in the baby's shoe,
Fod!
Put the dog's nose in the baby's shoe,
'Stead of goin' whoop, whoop, she went a-choo,
Tu-rolly-day!
