PRETTY GIRL

I got me a pretty girl
She whistles when I walk by
I got me a pretty girl
She whistles when I walk by
I try to come up with a brand new dance
Damn near every time

I got a ring for your finger
You get a ribbon for your hair
I got a ring for your finger
You get a ribbon for your hair
I drank some whiskey with your Papa
He gave his blessing then and there

I will work in the graveyard
Plantin’ flowers and diggin’ holes
Yeah, I will work in the graveyard
Plantin’ flowers and diggin’ holes
I’ll be singin’ while I diggin’
Lullabies for the sleeping souls

Sleep, sleep, sleep, rest your weary soul
Close your eyes sleepy head
I’ll keep you safe. I’ll keep you warm
Dream happy dreams ‘til
The good Lord bring you home

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
But if I die before I wake
Send me back for heaven’s sake
‘Cause I want to spend every day
With my pretty girl and her pretty ways

Diggity diggity diggity dum,
Look out woman here I come
Diggity diggity diggity doo,
Watch out woman comin’ after you
Jig jag jug and a jigga ma jole,
That’s all there is and there ain’t no more
