’Gator Hollow Lyrics
Well I had me a girl in Moccasin Valley
In those peaceful everglades
Folk's all called her Fahokey Sally
The sweetest girl that the good Lord ever made
We planned a home in Gater Hollow
'Cause skinnin' gators was my life
She promised that she would always love me
And be my happy little gator skinnin' wife
One day a man came up from Miami
And took my little Sal away
I was mistookin', for I went lookin'
Cause it hurt my pride to hear those Glade folks say
(He had a girl in in Moccasin Valley
In the peaceful everglades
Her hair was gold, just like an angel's
But the cheapenest girl the devil ever made
Ever made)
I found them winnin' down in Miami
In an all night club cafe
They was a-laughing and they was a-joking
About that 'Gator Man that they thought was far away
Now my 'gators are a little bit fatter
Why I've got one with a golden hide
Soon I'll be leavin' here for prison
I lost my soul but I know I've saved my pride
(He had a girl in Moccasin Valley
In those peaceful everglades...)
