Goober Peas

Goober Peas - Kingston Trio

Written by：Ford/Fascinato

Sittin' by the roadside on a summer's day

Chatting with my messmates to pass the time away

Sitting in the shadow underneath the trees

Goodness how delicious eating goober peas

Peas peas peas peas

Eating goober peas

Peas peas peas peas

Eating goober peas

Somebody

When a farmer passes the soldiers have a rule

To cry out their loudest mister here's your mule

But another pleasure enchantinger than these

Is wearing out your grinders eating goober peas

Peas peas peas peas

Eating goober peas

Peas peas peas peas

Eating goober peas

Just before the battle the gen'ral heard a row

He said the yanks are coming I hear their rifles now

He turned around in wonder and what do you think he sees

The georgia militia eating goober peas

Peas peas peas peas

Eating goober peas

Peas peas peas peas

Eating goober peas

We think the song has lasted almost long enough

The subject's is most interesting but rhymes are mighty rough

When this war is over

When free from rags and fleas

We'd kiss our wives and sweethearts

And then we'll gobble goober peas
