Through the long grass, past the tall trees
Lies a cabin nestlin' in the pines
And my sweetheart's catchin' small fish
With a cane and a bent hook on a line
So if you're passin' close by, please
Come and join us, join our company

There's my daddy on the front porch
With a lazy hound lyin' by his feet
And my momma's in the kitchen
With the table all ready set to eat
So if you're passin' close by, please
Come and join us, join our company

Wo-wo-wo-wo, I just wanna be there
Underneath the sun and the deep, deep blue sky
Wo-wo-wo-wo, I just wanna be there
Even when it rains and it pours, it's a paradise

Do-y-dootn do-y-dootn ....

Cousin Norman comes a courtin'
With the same girl ev'ry day
He's got a stammer, like a hammer
C-can't understand a word that he s-says
So if you're passin' close by, please
Come and join us, join our company

Wo-wo-wo-wo, I just wanna be there
Underneath the sun and the deep, deep blue sky
Wo-wo-wo-wo, I just wanna be there
Even when it rains and it pours, it's a paradise ....
