Love a 'tater pie an' I love an apple puddin ,
An' I love a little gal 
that they call Sally Goodin. (repeat 2 lines)
An' I dropped the 'tater pie 
an' I left the appie puddin',
But I went across the mountain 
to see my Sally Goodin. (repeat 2 lines)

Sally is my doozy an' Sally is my daisy,
When Sally says she hates me 
I think I'm goin crazy. (repeat 2 lines)
Little dog'll bark an' the big dog'll bite you,
Little gal'll court you 
an' big gal'll fight you. (repeat 2 lines)

Rainin' an' a-pourin' 
an' the creek's runnin' muddy,
An' I'm so dam' drunk 
I can't stand steady, (repeat 2 lines)
I'm goin up the mountain an' marry little Sally,
Raise corn on the hillside 
an' the devil in the valley. (repeat 2 lines)
