Alligator Charlie Daniels

Well, ol' Catahoula Brown lived back in the swamp
With his dogs and a bunch of sons
One teenage daughter, her name was Sally Sue
She was as pretty as a newborn fawn

And he didn't like sinners, and he didn't like saints
And he didn't like anything
But as much as he disliked everybody else
He just hated ol' Silas Green

Sally Sue come in on a Saturday evening
As the sun was going down
She said, "Papa, if it's alright with you
Well, I think I'm gonna go to town."

He said, "Daughter, you get on back in the house
'cause you ain't going no place
'til you get them ribbons out of your hair
And wash the makeup off of your face."

She said, "Papa, don't you be so hard on me
'cause I just got a date
With this boy I met in Sunday school
And we ain't gonna be out late."

And then she walked on up to the rural route
And she caught herself a ride
But it wasn't no boy from Sunday school
That was sittin' on the other side
