Bing Crosby Feudin' an' fightin' lyrics

Bing Crosby
Miscellaneous
Feudin' an' fightin'
Beyond the busy highway
Beyond the city strife
We highly treasure
And take great pleasure
In our plaintive way of life

Feudin' a-fussin' and a-fightin'
Sometimes it gets down right excitin'
Don't like them ornery neighbors
Down by the creek
We'll be plumb out of neighbors
Next week

Grandma, poor ol' grandma
Why'd they have to shoot poor grandma
She lies 'neath the clover
Seems they caught her bendin' over
A-reachin' for the money

Feudin' and fussin' and a-fightin'
This is a wrong that needs a rightin'
Let's get that funeral service
Over so then
We'll go feudin' and fightin'
Again

Feudin' and fightin' and a-fussin'
That's all that's goin' on
With us in
We are such neighborly people
Peaceful and sweet
All except when we happen to meet


Daughter, baby daughter
Poisoned all the neighbors chickens
Daughter shouldn't oughter
At least till she could run
Like the chickens
They caught her at the cross-roads

Feudin' and fightin' and a-fussin'
No use to stand in here accusin'
Let's give our daughter a pistol
Now that she's four
And go feudin' and fightin' some more

Ah, feudin' and fightin' and a-fussin'
What did that stranger
Want with us in
He was a revenuer until
The boys had to hide him in the still

Licker, mountain licker
It's better now it kicks
You much quicker
Moonshine, mountain moonshine
Has a glower gets you much quicker
They serve it with a cloth brush

Feudin' a-fussin' and a-fightin'
This ain't no place to be politin'
I'll load up my
Double barrel shotgun
I'm gettin' the yearn
To go feudin' and a-fightin
A-feudin' and a-fightin' again
