Feudin' and Fightin' (Remastered)

Beyond the busy highway

Beyond the city strife

We highly treasure and take great pleasure

In our plain way of life

Feudin', a-fussin' and a-fightin'

Sometimes it gets to be excitin'

Don't like them ornery neighbors down by the creek

We'll be plumb out of neighbors next week

Grandma, poor old grandma

Why'd they have to shoot poor grandma?

She lies 'neath the clover

Someone caught her bendin' over

Pickin' up a daisy

Feudin', a-fussin' and a-fighting

This is a wrong that needs a rightin'

Let's get that funeral service over so then

We'll go feudin' and fightin' again

Fightin', a-feudin' and a-fussin'

That's all that's goin' on with us'n

We are such neighborly people, peaceful and sweet

All except when we happen to meet

Daughter, baby daughter

Poisoned all the neighbor's chickens

Daughter shouldn't oughter

Least 'til she could run like the dickens

They hit her with a shovel

Feudin', a-fightin' and a-fussin'

No use a-standin' here a-cussin'

Let's give our daughter a pistol now that she's four

And go feudin' and fightin' some more

Fightin', a-fussin' and a-feudin'

Why did that sheriff keep intrudin'?

He was a curious critter, yup, he was swell

It's a shame he was pushed down the well

Water, the well water

The doggone stuff don't taste like it oughter

Look here, city slicker

That's why we all drink corn liquor

It's better with your shoes off

Feudin', a-fussin' and a-fightin'

This ain't no corner you can brighten

Polish the shootin' iron, Mo, I'm gettin' a yen

To go feudin', a-fussin', a-feudin' and a-fussin' again
