I lived in a place called Okfuskee And I had a little girl in a holler tree I said, little girl, it's plain to see Ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me
She said it's hard for me to see How one little boy got so ugly Yes my little girly that might be But there ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key There ain't nobody that can sing like me
We walked down by the Buckeye Creek To see the frog eat the goggle-eye bee To hear the west wind whistle to the east There ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Oh my little girly will you let me see Way over yonder where the wind blows free Nobody can see in our holler tree
And there ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree And laid it on the she and me It stung lots worse than a hive of bees But there ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Now I have walked a long long ways And I still look back to my Tanglewood days I've led lots of girls since then to stray Saying ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key Ain't nobody that can sing like me
