“My name is simple Pad Dooley.”
My name is simple Pad Dooley.
I live in a place they call Loon.
I own half the ground in Mayhora,
And a big slice of the mountain in Coon.Chorus.
I have six cows and calves in Mayhora
and my haggard well stocked with new hay.
And I don't feel the world a bit Lonesome.
While I can sing A faefe la-lara la lae.
