Lyrics
I lived in a place called Okfuskee
And I had a little girl in a holler tree
I said, "Little girl, it's plain to see
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me"
She said, "It's hard for me to see
How one little boy got so ugly"
Yes, my little girly, that might be
But there ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key
Way over yonder in the minor key
There ain't nobody that could sing like me
We walked down by the Buckeye Creek
To see the frog eat the goggle-eye bee
To hear that west wind whistle to the east
There ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Oh, my little girly, will you let me see?
Way over yonder where the wind blows free
Nobody can see in our holler tree
And there ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key
Way over yonder in the minor key
There ain't nobody that could sing like me
Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
And laid it on to she and me
It stung lots worse than a hive of bees
But there ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Now I've walked a long, long ways
I still look back to my Tanglewood days
I've led lots of girls since then to stray
Saying ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key
Way over yonder in the minor key
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key
Way over yonder in the minor key
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Writer(s): Woodrow Wilson Guthrie, Stephen William Bragg
