Turtledove Lyrics

Way out on the mountain

With my Turtledove

Hair is black coal diamond

And her smile's made of love

In our little cabin

We fill our days with song

Hard work we're a bustin'

Cause the work is never done

But at night

When the crickets sing

And the frogs

Holler from the trees

When last lantern's lights fallen

And it's time to lay our heads

Sandman comes a callin'

We'll be sleepin' like the dead

Moon will come a shinin'

On my Turtledove

Roosters will be whining

'For the sun is high above

Make a pot of coffee

And we're singin' with the birds

Smoke a couple cigarettes

And get on back to work

But at night

When the crickets sing

And the frogs

Holler from the trees

When last lantern's lights fallen

And it's time to lay our heads

Sandman comes a callin'

We'll be sleepin' like the dead
