Foolin’ Around

[Intro: Dolly Parton]
Mmm-mhm-hm-hm

[Verse 1: Floyd Parton]
When I was just a young boy
Not more than ten or eleven
That's a time in life
When I had a lot of time on my hands
I'd spend those lazy, crazy summer days

[Chorus: Floyd Parton & Dolly Parton]
Just a-foolin' around on the banks (On the banks)
Of Red River (Of red River)
Just a-foolin' around (Fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, foolin' around)

[Verse 2: Floyd Parton & Dolly Parton]
Climb up in a big oak tree
With my old dog lookin' up at me
Kind of puzzled
He don't know just what to think (Mmm-mhm-hm-hm)
Sliding down the banks on the seat
Man, I thought that was really neat
That's a time in life
When I had a lot of time on my hands

[Chorus: Dolly Parton]
Fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, foolin' around
Just fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, foolin' around

[Verse 3: Floyd Parton & Dolly Parton]
Lying in the shade of the trees
Dreamin' about what I wanted to be
Fishin' with my old cane pole
The fun I had no body knows
That time in life
When I had a lot of time on my hands

[Bridge: Floyd Parton & Dolly Parton]
Now I'm all grown up
And now, my time is rushed
And now, those days have turned to dust
And now, I'd like to catch a bus
To the time in life
When I had a lot of time on my hands
I'd spend those lazy, crazy summer days

[Chorus: Floyd Parton & Dolly Parton]
Just a-foolin' around
On the banks
Of Red River (Of Red River)
Just a-foolin' around (Fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, foolin' around)
Just a-foolin' around (Fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, foolin' around)

[Outro: Dolly Parton]
I'm just foolin' around
Fool, fool, fooling around
I'm just fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, foolin' around
Just foolin' around
Fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, foolin' around
I'm just fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, foolin' around
I'm just fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, foolin' around
