I Feel A Song Coming On

Well, it's Springtime in the mountains and I'm full of mountain dew

Can't even read my catalog like I used to do

I'm sitting in that little shed just right back of the house

Here comes Jake with all his hounds, he's gonna hear me shout

Oh, I won't go hunting with you, Jake, but I'll go chasing women

Go put them hounds back in their pen and quit that silly grinning

The moon is bright and I'm half-tight, my life is just beginning

I won't go hunting with you, Jake, but I'll go chasing women

I went down to the General Store and what do you think I seen

They make it in the city and it's called a magazine

I turned to page thirty-two and lookee what I found

Them gals wear clothes that we ain't seen beneath their gingham gowns







So I won't go hunting with you, Jake, but I'll go chasing women

Go put them hounds back in their pen and quit that silly grinning

The moon is bright and I'm half-tight, my life is just beginning

I won't go hunting with you, Jake, but I'll go chasing women

("I won't go hunting with you, Jake (but I'll go chasing women)" written by Stuart Hamblen--also attributed to "Stuart Hamblin" and to "Russ Hamblin". Recorded by Jimmy Dean and others. There are more verses to this song, but these are the two I remember. And, as promised, it does at least mention, "Springtime") :-)
