The Prettiest Girl
This cadence is called like “yellow bird”
The prettiest girl
I ever saw
Was sipping bourbon
Through a straw
The prettiest girl
I ever saw
Was sipping bourbon (stomp), through a straw.
I walked right up
I sat right down
I ordered up
another round.
I placed my hand
upon her knee
she said GI
your teasing me.
I placed my hand
upon her thigh
she said GI
that’s way too high.
I picked her up
I laid her down
her long blond hair
lay all around.
the wedding was
a formal one
her daddy had
a white shotgun.
and now I’ve got
a mother-in-law
and 14 kids
who call me pa.
