Rick Krauss - Hillbilly Girl Lyrics

She lives up in the mountains somewhere in Arkansas
Her mother's name is Daisy and old Jacob is her pa
And she's a pretty wildflower just waiting to be picked
And I'm a wildflower picker lonesome and lovesick

Hillbilly girl stole my heart away
Hillbilly girl I'm gonna marry her someday

One day as I was walking by the river near her home
I could see her in the water and she was standing all alone
My temperature started rising and I almost couldn't breath
You would understand my feelings if you witnessed what I'd seen

That young hillbilly girl stole my heart away
Hillbilly girl I'm gonna marry her someday

I think about her all the time
Without her I will lose my mind

I don't know how I will do it make that hillbilly girl my wife
But I know I must be careful her papa Jake don't take my life
Cause you'd be better off tangling with a mean old rattlesnake
Than go courting the daughter of old hillbilly Jake

Hillbilly girl stole my heart away
Hillbilly girl I'm gonna marry her someday
