Lyrics
0:00As time goes by the tales grow taller
0:06About possum in Possum Holler
0:10As a young man I'd go a courting
0:16With my sweetheart so young and fair
0:21Down the mountain to Possum Holler
0:26That's where he'd always find me waiting there
0:31Now I tell my mama that I's going out walking
0:36Neath the moonlight so bright and fair
0:41And I'd tell daddy I was hunting possum
0:46And take off a grinning and a slicking down my hair
0:52As time goes by the tales grow taller
0:57About possum in Possum Holler
1:03Then one evening in Possum Holler
1:08My sweetheart's daddy stopped all our fun
1:13Yeah we got married in Possum Holler
1:18Just you and me my daddy and daddy's gun
1:24As time goes by the tales grow taller
1:29About possum in Possum Holler
1:34Now when they see a possum hunter
1:39Young and handsome and a smelling fair
1:44We just lean back and bust our laughing
1:50Cause we know there ain't no possum there
1:55As time goes by the tales grow taller
2:01About possum in Possum Holler
2:06About possum in Possum Holler
As time goes by the tales grow taller About possum in Possum Holler As a young man I'd go a courting With my sweetheart so young and fair Down the mountain to Possum Holler That's where he'd always find me waiting there Now I tell my mama that I's going out walking Neath the moonlight so bright and fair And I'd tell daddy I was hunting possum And take off a grinning and a slicking down my hair As time goes by the tales grow taller About possum in Possum Holler Then one evening in Possum Holler My sweetheart's daddy stopped all our fun Yeah we got married in Possum Holler Just you and me my daddy and daddy's gun As time goes by the tales grow taller About possum in Possum Holler Now when they see a possum hunter Young and handsome and a smelling fair We just lean back and bust our laughing Cause we know there ain't no possum there As time goes by the tales grow taller About possum in Possum Holler About possum in Possum Holler
