In the woods of Sipsey The trees are so tall, an unscalable wall So high and green Oh beware in Sipsey Therere snakes on the ground they move with no sound If you happen to venture in In the woods of Sipsey No lights after dark, except for the stars That hang in space When the air is misty It hovers the glade with shadow and shade Its a backward, forsaken place! And the mulberry river sings
where the birds still have room for their wings they fly fly. over my home down in the woods of Sipsey Theres a path in Sipsey That leads to the graves where my ancestors lay It comforts me Just to know in Sipsey A light year from now, in this same hallowed ground Ill be resting in peaceful sleep
