Jes' look to the man who can if he will
Prosper in the valley of the Tennessee hills
Oh the gray cat spit in the little kitten's eye
Little cat, little cat don't you cry
Do love liquor and-a we'll take a dram
I'm gonna tell you, pretty Polly Ann
Cattle in the pasture, hogs in the pen
Sheep on the ranch
And-a wheat in the bin
Oh the gray cat spit in the little kitten's eye
Little cat, little cat don't you cry
Do love liquor and-a we'll take a dram
I'm gonna tell you, pretty Polly Ann
Cattle in the pasture, hogs in the pen
Sheep on the ranch
And-a wheat in the bin
Corn in the crib, and porter in the yard
Meat in the smokehouse
And a big can o' lard
Oh the gray cat spit in the little kitten's eye
Little cat, little cat don't you cry
Do love liquor and-a we'll take a dram
I'm gonna tell you, pretty Polly Ann
Cattle in the pasture, hogs in the pen
Sheep on the ranch
And-a wheat in the bin
Fruit in the cellar, and cheese on the board
A big sack o' coffee
And-a sugar in the gourd
Oh the gray cat spit in the little kitten's eye
Little cat, little cat don't you cry
Do love liquor and-a we'll take a dram
I'm gonna tell you, pretty Polly Ann
Cattle in the pasture, hogs in the pen
Sheep on the ranch
And-a wheat in the bin
Horses in his stable and money in his pocket
A baby in the cradle
And a pretty woman to rock it
Oh the gray cat spit in the little kitten's eye
Little cat, little cat don't you cry
Do love liquor and-a we'll take a dram
I'm gonna tell you, pretty Polly Ann
Cattle in the pasture, hogs in the pen
Sheep on the ranch
And-a wheat in the bin
Oh the gray cat spit in the little kitten's eye
Little cat, little cat don't you cry
