Coffee grows on white Oak trees (trad./Arr. McGuinn)


Coffee grows on white Oak trees
The river flows with brandy O
Go choose someone to roam with you
Sweet as lasses candy O

Two in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Two in the middle and I can't get around
Two in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Hello Susan Brown

Four in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Four in the middle and I can't get around
Four in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Hello Susan Brown

Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
I lost my true love on that ragin' canal
O she's gone, gone, gone
O she's gone, gone, gone
O she's gone on that ragin' canal

Fiddler's drunk and I can't dance Josie
Fiddler's drunk and I can't get around
Fiddler's drunk and I can't dance Josie
Hello Susan Brown

Cow in the well and can't jump Josie
Cow in the well and can't get around
Cow in the well and can't jump Josie
Hello Susan Brown

Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
I lost my true love on that ragin' canal
O she's gone, gone, gone
O she's gone, gone, gone
O she's gone on that ragin' canal

Wheel around, whirl around, can't dance Josie
Wheel around, whirl around, can't get around
Wheel around, whirl around, can't dance Josie
Hello Susan Brown

Rats in the boots and the boots tip over
Rats in the boots and I can't get around
Rats in the boots and the boots tip over
Hello Susan Brown

Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
I lost my true love on that ragin' canal
O she's gone, gone, gone
O she's gone, gone, gone
O she's gone on that ragin' canal
