Way over yonder in the minor key
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
Yes, my little girly, that might be
Now I have walked a long long ways
How one little boy got so ugly"
And there ain't nobody that can sing like me
But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
I've led lots of girlies since then to stray
I still look back to my Tanglewood days
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
She said, "It's hard for me to see
Way over yonder in the minor key
And laid it on to she and me
It stung lots worse than a hive of bees
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
I said, "Little girl, it's plain to see
There ain't nobody that can sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key
Way over yonder in the minor key
Ain't nobody that can sing like me"
Saying, "Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key
There ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
There ain't nobody that can sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key
We walked down by the Buckeye Creek
Way over yonder in the minor key
To see the frog eat the goggle eye bee
Way over yonder in the minor key
Where over yonder where the wind blows free?
To hear that west wind whistle to the east
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me"
Nobody can see in our holler tree
Oh my little girly, will you let me see
