Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss- sung by Peter Gott of Sodom Laurel, North Carolina, Feb. 19, 1977.
Fly around my pretty little miss,
Fly around my daisy,
Fly around my pretty little miss
You almost drive me crazy.
When I was a little boy,
Playin' in the ditches
Now I am a big young man,
Wearing pappy's britches. [chorus]
I went to town the other day,
I didn't go to stay,
Fell in love with a pretty little girl,
And I'd liked to've stayed all day. [chorus]
Every time I go this road
It looks so dark and cloudy
Every time I see the little girl
I always tell her howdy. [chorus]
Yonder comes my own true love,
You reckon how I know,
I tell her by her underclothes
A-hanging down so low. [chorus]
