Eddy Arnold - Jeff Canady lyrics
(Danny Dill) Hurry, hurry, children you better get a runnin' Jeff Canady's comin' and he eats little youngin's His wife is a witch and Jeff can switch From a snake to a frog or an old mad dog So you better leave him alone. My sister was a backward child she never walked a step She crawled around the old home place and always needed help At eight years old she never walked and never went to school The teacher said she couldn't help she'd grow to be a fool. We took her to a fine surgeon he said dear folks I dread The body's strong but her mind won't grow, it's something in her head Now there was a bum who walked around way back in those days And momma would say we'd better be good or he'd take us kids away. Hurry, hurry, children you better get a runnin' Jeff Canady's comin' and he eats little youngin's His wife is a witch and Jeff can switch From a snake to a frog or an old mad dog So you better leave him alone. We sheltered Sis from snakes and frogs and when the mad dogs came But the one thing that she feared the most was old Jeff Canady's name One day old Jeff came down the road when sister played alone She screamed and squirmed and then decided she was there alone. She jumped and ran to momma's arms as Jeff went on his way But thank the Lord my sister walks until this very day Guess old Jeff is walking yet down heavens lonesome mile But beneath his beard I swear I bet he wears a great big smile. Hurry, hurry, children you better get a runnin' Jeff Canady's comin' and he eats little youngin's His wife is a witch and Jeff can switch From a snake to a frog or an old mad dog So you better leave him alone... |
