Gator Hollow - Burl Ives

Lyrics by：Mel Tillis

Composed by：Mel Tillis

Well I had me a girl in Moccasin Valley

In those peaceful everglades

Folk's all called her Fahokey Sally

The sweetest girl that the good Lord ever made

We planned a home in Gater Hollow

'Cause skinnin' gators was my life

She promised that she would always love me

And be my happy little gator skinnin' wife

One day a man came up from Miami

And took my little Sal away

I was mistookin' for I went lookin'

'Cause it hurt my pride to hear those Glade folks say

He had a girl in in Moccasin Valley

In the peaceful everglades

Her hair was gold just like an angel's

But the cheapenest girl the devil ever made

I found them winin' down in Miami

In an all night club cafe

They was a-laughing and they was a-joking

About that 'Gator Man that they thought was far away

Now my 'gators are a little bit fatter

I got one with a golden hide

Soon I'll be leavin' for every prison

I lost my soul but I know I've saved my pride

He had a girl in Moccasin Valley

In those peaceful everglades

And I just got a golden valley
