Sugar Hill - Old time banjo song

Sugar Hill is an old time banjo folk song. Fun to sing and play on the mountain banjo.

Sugar Hill - lyrics
Clawhammer Banjo

If you want to get your fill,
If you want to get your eye knocked out,
Climb on Sugar Hill.

Jay bird on the mountain top
Red bird on the ground
Black crow up a sugar tree
Shake that sugar down

Possum sitting on a rail fence
Staring at the sun;
Hound dog coming down the road,
Possum better run.

Got two dimes in my jeans
Can`t you hear it jingle
I'm going to chase them pretty gals
As long as I stay single

Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can`t have the one I want
I don`t want no one at all

Get your banjo off the wall,
Grab your fiddle, Bill;
Hitch the horses to the sleigh,
We're going to Sugar Hill.

If you want to get your eye knocked out,
If you want to get your fill,
If you want to get your eye knocked out,
Climb on Sugar Hill.
