[Verse 1] Roll up my britches, wade the shallow ford mud up to my knees but I'm happy as a lord banjo on my back and a song half-sung racin' the daylight up Sugar Run [Chorus] Goin' up Sugar Run, goin' at a clip goin' up Sugar Run, gonna let her rip gal at the top with a smile like the sun and I'm goin' a-courtin' up Sugar Run [Verse 2] Her mama makes biscuits and her daddy makes shine her brother plays the fiddle and the whole thing's fine we'll dance on the puncheon till the break of day then I'll kiss her on the cheek and I'll be on my way [Chorus] Goin' up Sugar Run, goin' at a clip goin' up Sugar Run, gonna let her rip gal at the top with a smile like the sun and I'm goin' a-courtin' up Sugar Run [Banjo Breakdown] [Verse 3] Old hound dog follow me up the holler track tail a-waggin' happy and there ain't no lookin' back got a jingle in my pocket and a heart like a drum GOIN' a-courtin' up Sugar Run [Final Chorus] Goin' up Sugar Run, goin' at a clip goin' up Sugar Run, gonna let her rip gal at the top with a smile like the sun and I'm goin' a-courtin' up Sugar Run [Outro] and I'm goin' a-courtin' up Sugar Run
