Lyrics
I lived in a place called Okfuskee
And I had a little girlie in a holler tree
I said pretty girl, it's plain to see
That there ain't nobody who can sing like me
There ain't nobody who can sing like me
And then she said it's hard for me to see
How one little boy got so ugly
I said pretty mama, well that might be
But there aint nobody who can sing like me
There ain't nobody who can sing like me
Oh way over yonder in a minor key
Way over yonder in a minor key
Yeah there ain't nobody who can sing like me
Well I walked down by the Buckeye Creek
To see the frog eat the goggle eyed bee
To hear that west wind whistle to the east
Yeah there ain't nobody who can sing like me
There ain't nobody who can sing like me
I said hey pretty mama won't you let me see
Way over yonder where the wind blows free
No one can see in our holler tree
And there ain't nobody who can sing like me
There ain't nobody who can sing like me
Oh way over yonder in a minor key
Way over yonder in a minor key
And there ain't nobody who can sing like me
No no no no no
No no no
Well her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
And she laid it on to him and me
And it stung worse more than a hive of bees
And there ain't nobody who can sing like me
There ain't nobody who can sing like me
Well I walked a long long long way
And I still look back on my tanglewood days
And I've led a lot of girlies since then to stray
Singing, there ain't nobody who can sing like me
There ain't nobody who can sing like me
Oh way over yonder in a minor key
Way over yonder in a minor key
And there ain't nobody who can sing like me
Oh way over yonder in a minor key
Way over yonder in a minor key
And there ain't nobody who can sing like me
No no no no no
