| Lyrics: | SPRINGFIELD MOUNTAIN
(G) G - D7 G / G - D7 G / G - - C /
On Springfield
Mountain there did dwell
A lovely youth, I knew him well - I ell -
Tu rudy nu,
tu rudy nay,
Tu rudy nu, tu rudy nay
Each morning early, he did go
Up to
the mountain for to mow - I owe
CHORUS
He scarce had mowed half round the
field
When a poison serpent bit his heel - I eel
CHORUS
They carried him
to Molly dear
Which made him feel so very queer - I eer
CHORUS
Now
Molly had two ruby lips
With which the poison she did sip - I ip
CHORUS
But Molly had a rotten tooth
And so the poison killed them both - I
oth
CHORUS
The moral: when in love don't pass
Too near to patches of
high grass - I ass
CHORUS
Note: this is, apparantly, a burlesque of an
older, more serious ballad. See
