[Verse 1]
  G            C       G
Dooley was a good ole man
   G                 D
He lived below the mill
  G                C
Dooley had two daughters
        G      D      G
And a forty-gallon still

[Verse 2]
   G                  C
One gal watched the boiler
  G                   D
The other watched the spout
    G                   C
And mama corked the bottles
          G        D         G
And ole Dooley fetched 'em out

[Chorus]
   G
Dooley slippin' up the holler
    C                   G
Dooley try to make a dollar
   G
Dooley give me a swaller
           D               G
And I'll pay you back someday

[Verse 3]
   G             C
The revenuers came for him
     G                D
A-sippin' though the woods
   G            C
Dooley kept behind them all
   G        D         G
And never lost his goods

[Verse 4]
  G            C
Dooley was a trader
    G                 D
When into town he'd come
   G             C
Sugar by the bushel
       G       D      G
And molasses by the ton

[Chorus]
   G
Dooley slippin' up the holler
    C
Dooley try to make a dollar
    G
Dooley gimme a swaller
       D                G
And I'l pay you back someday

[Verse 5]
   G              C
I remember very well
  G                   D
The day 'ole Dooley died
    G                    C
The women folk were sorry
          G         D          G
And the men stood round and cried

[Verse 6]
   G                   C
Now Dooley's on the mountain
   G                 D
He lies there all alone
    G             C
They put a jug beside him
         G        D     G
And a barrel for his stone

[Chorus]
   G
Dooley slippin' up the holler
    C
Dooley try to make a dollar
    G
Dooley gimme a swaller
       D                 G
And I'll pay you back someday
       D                 G
And I'll pay you back someday
