[Verse 1]
G C G
Dooley was a good ole man
G D
He lived below the mill
G C
Dooley had two daughters
G D G
And a forty-gallon still
[Verse 2]
G C
One gal watched the boiler
G D
The other watched the spout
G C
And mama corked the bottles
G D G
And ole Dooley fetched 'em out
[Chorus]
G
Dooley slippin' up the holler
C G
Dooley try to make a dollar
G
Dooley give me a swaller
D G
And I'll pay you back someday
[Break]

[Verse 3]
G C
The revenuers came for him
G D
A-sippin' though the woods
G C
Dooley kept behind them all
G D G
And never lost his goods
[Verse 4]
G C
Dooley was a trader
G D
When into town he'd come
G C
Sugar by the bushel
G D G
And molasses by the ton
[Chorus]
G
Dooley slippin' up the holler

Dooley try to make a dollar
G
Dooley gimme a swaller
D G
And I'l pay you back someday

[Verse 5]
G C
I remember very well
G D
The day 'ole Dooley died
G C
The women folk were sorry
G D G
And the men stood round and cried
[Verse 6]
G C
Now Dooley's on the mountain
G D
He lies there all alone
G C
They put a jug beside him
G D G
And a barrel for his stone
[Chorus]
G
Dooley slippin' up the holler
C
Dooley try to make a dollar
G
Dooley gimme a swaller
D G
And I'll pay you back someday
D G
And I'll pay you back someday
