Gobbler the Houn’ Dog Johnny Horton

[Verse 1]
When the moon comes over old Smokey
I hear a lonesome hound dog wail
I know, it's time to grab my hat and coat
For old Gobbler's hitin' the trail
It's up through the hollow and down through the draw
The pine trees begin to sing
They ring out the music of an old fox chase
They know, this night will bring

[Chorus]
Talk, Gobbler, talk
Talk, Gobbler, talk
That music echoes through my ears
Talk, Gobbler, talk

[Verse 2]
I yell, go, Gobbler, go, boy, as I hit the ground on the run
That old fox hound is a-picking 'em up
I know, a race has just begun
I hear old Gobbler as he crosses the creek
Down through the meadow and over the peak
He's a-rollin' now, boy, hot on the trail
Picking up steam like the fireball mail

[Chorus]
Talk, Gobbler, talk
Talk, Gobbler, talk
That music echoes through my ears
Talk, Gobbler, talk
