  1. Song - Tom Doolin's Attempt to Get Married

    Share Share Post
    I
    My name is simple Tom Doolin,
    I live in a place they call Loon,
    I own half the fields of Gazebo,
    And a big slice of the mountains in Coon.
    Chorus
    With my six cows and calves in Mayhora,
    My haggard full with new hay,
    I don't feel the world a bit lonesome,
    Why whack fol the dol the dol day.
