Through the long grass, past the tall trees

There's a cabin thats a nestlin in the pines

Where my sweethearts catchin small fish

With a cane and a bent pin on a line

And if you happen to pass by, please

Come and join us join our company



There's my daddy on the front porch

With a lazy hound lying by his feet

And my mommie's in the kitchen

With the table all ready set to eat

So if you happen to pass by, please

Come and join us join our company and



Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there

Underneath the sun and the deep, deep blue sky...and

Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there

Even when it rains and it pours its a paradise



Dooya doodn doo doo doo Dooya doodn doo doo doo

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo



Dooya doodn doo doo doo Dooya doodn doo doo doo

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo



Cousin Norman comes a courting

With the same girl every single day

Got a stammer,like a hammer

You can't understand a word that he s-says

So if you happen to pass by, please

Come and join us join our companyand



Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there

Underneath the sun and the deep, deep blue sky... and

Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there

Even when it rains and it pours its a paradise



Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there

Underneath the sun and the deep, deep blue sky... and

Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there

Even when it rains and it pours its a paradise
