1. Through the long grass past the tall trees there’s a cabin nestlin’ in the pines and my sweetheart’s catchin’ small fish with cane and bent pin on line So if you’re passing close by please come and join us join our company 2. There’s my daddy on the front porch with a lazy hound lying by his feet and my mama’s in the kitchen with the table all ready set to eat So if you’re passing close by please come and join us join our company Oh oh oh oh just want to be there underneath the sun and beneath the deepblue sky Oh oh oh oh just want to be there even when it rains and it pours it’s a paradise Doo doo 3. Cousin Norman comes a courting with the same girl every single day he’s got a stammer like a hammer you can’t understand a word that he says So if you’re passing close by please come and join us join our company Oh oh oh oh just want to be there underneath the sun and beneath the deepblue sky Oh oh oh oh just want to be there even when it rains and it pours it’s a paradise. + repeat CHORUS
