Barefoot Nellie

Jimmie Davis - Don Reno

Redheaded peckerwood sittin' on a limb
Ma said chicken but Nellie shot him
Wrung his neck and picked him clean
The funiest chicken I've ever seen

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie)
Hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me

Now Nellie put on her Sunday dress
She thought that it would look the best
Made out of an old feed sack
Hog feed rope right on the back

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie)
Hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me
[ instrumental ]
Now Nellie went to town one day
A ridin' on a bale o'hay
Sold a man a trip to Mars
Now she sits behind the bars

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie)...

Now Nellie's got a pair of shoes
And she can wear 'em if she choose
Why the heck she's got the blues
Wants to wear a size twenty-two

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie)...
[ instrumental ]
Take a little hog walk in the lot
He made three tracks just one dot
Nellie said who do you think I am
That hog's missin' about one ham

Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie)...
Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie)...
