I Won’t Go Huntin’ with You Jake (But I’ll Go Chasin’ Wimmin’)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, it's springtime in the mountains And I'm full of mountain dew Can't even read my catalog Like I used to do I'm a-settin' in that little shed That's right back of the house Here comes old Jake with all the hounds But he's gonna hear me shout [Chorus] Oh, I won't go huntin' with you, Jake But I'll go chasin' women So put them hounds back in the pens And quit your silly grinnin' Well, the moon is bright, and I'm half tight My life is just beginnin' I won't go huntin' with you, Jake But I'll go chasin' women [Verse 2] Let's go down to the meetin' house And wait 'til they start home Them gals that live on Possum Creek We'll always leave alone We'll run them down the corn rows Them sassy little misses We'll scare them pretty gals to death We'll stop and throw 'em kisses [Chorus] Well, I won't go huntin' with you, Jake But I'll go chasin' women So put them hounds back in the pens And quit your silly grinnin' Well, the moon is bright, and I'm half tight My life is just beginnin' I won't go huntin' with you, Jake But I'll go chasin' women [Verse 3] Now, go wash your face and comb your hair 'Cause it's durn near time to start But let me tell you 'fore you go There's one that's got my heart Don't chase that gal with the yellow hair And wears a dress of green For that little gal belongs to me I know she's past sixteen [Chorus] Oh, I won't go huntin' with you, Jake But I'll go chasin' women So put them hounds back in the pens And quit your silly grinnin' Well, the moon is bright, and I'm half tight My life is just beginnin' I won't go huntin' with you, Jake But I'll go chasin' women [Verse 4] Now, I was headed for the general store When a silly thing I seen They make 'em in the city It's called a magazine I turned to page thirty-two And look at what I found Them gals wear clothes that we ain't seen Beneath them gingham gowns [Chorus] Oh, I won't go huntin' with you, Jake But I'll go chasin' women So put them hounds back in the pens And quit your silly grinnin' Well, the moon is bright, and I'm half tight My life is just beginnin' I won't go huntin' with you, Jake But I'll go chasin' women
