"lyrics adapted from a traditional Appalachian mountain poem called The Turtle Dove"

Poor little turtle dove

Sitting in a pine

Mourning for it's own true love

Why not me for mine?

Why not? Why not me for mine?

Why not? Why not me for mine?

I've got hogs in my pen

Corn to feed them all

All I want is someone

To feed them when I'm gone

Feed them

Feed them when I'm gone

When I'm gone

When I'm gone

Who will feed them?

Feed them when I'm gone?

So I went up to the mountain

To give my horn a blow

And all the boys in the valley said

Yonder comes my beau

And yonder comes my bow

Comes my beau

Well I'm not gonna marry in the fall

I know I will never marry in the spring

I will never marry, marry at all

No one will wear my silver ring

Wear my silver ring

Where is my?

Wear my silver ring
