Step right up, boys, right this way
Down to the Sewanee Mountain hideaway
All the girls lined up would spit in their eyes
Kickin' and a-scratchin’ for a Tennessee prize
Gather 'round, boys and place your bets
On which one a these cats can scratch the best
All you gals, want a good clean fight,
Sewanee Mountain Catfight's here tonight
Sewanee Mountain Catfight, dollar and a dime
Girls gone wild on the Tennessee line
Got her by the hair, another by the neck
Teeth go flyin' in a roadside shed????
Well, the first thing you know, ol' Jump-Up Joe
Took 12:1, went and placed a show
she was lookin' to kill
straight from the holler on Hill
Then the whistle blew and Betty-Lou
Took a hankie in his hair and away she flew
Slapped her on the fanny then she flipped her gown
Racked up four points in the very first round
Yeah, the girls was hot and the beer was cold
Just about then them blue lights rolled
They busted in through the kitchen door
And the sheriff pulled out a .44
Hey, Sheriff, bring that Betty Lou
She oughta bring that hothead home to you
The sheriff payed his $1.10.
Said, "Girls, start up that fight again!"
Step right up, boys
C'mon, now, lay your money down
Alright, girls, now make it clean
We don't want no blows below the pantyline
At this point it's got more spaces than lyrics I think! Anyone hear any better? |

can anyone tell me what Ketch is saying in this verse?
Well, the first thing you know, ol' Jump-Up Joe
Took 12:1, went and placed a show
____________she was lookin' to kill
straight from the holler on Hill
Hes saying something before "she was lookin to kill" and i can't understand him nor find any lyrics with what he is saying. We have a gig at the end of July and i'm looking foward to playing this song, among other old crow songs, and want to get it right. If anyone could help me out i would greatly appriciate it |

Hey Sarge  Good to hear you're gigging out!
I reckon it could be
Well, the first thing you know, ol' Jump-Up Joe
Took 12:1, win place or show
Hannah's on the corner, she was lookin' to kill
Straight from the holler on Cathouse Hill |

"Hannah took her corner"
