The Outlander Meets
the Native
Lyrics:
Somebody's comin' up the Eagle Creek Branch
Some furriner I ain't never seen
Tell Quill Rose to larn who he is
Go down and meet 'im at the spring
It's Horace Kephart from the tame old West
Comin down to wild South East
We's a fierce uncouth Southern mountain race
If you take what others say
Well lyin' John's jest cooterin' around
Red John's prodjectin over thar
Sick John's been jes shummickin' about
Quill Rose jes loaferin ev'ry whar
Now what you aimin to do up hyar?
What do ye think you're gonna find?
Stranger, what did ye say yer name was?
And whar did you say you was gwine?
Bill, get some ol' Ned from that suggin o' mine
Stranger whar did you say you was gwine?
If you-uns can stand what we-uns has ter
W'y come in, set you a cheer
I'll ax the old woman gin she get you a bite
We'll find ye a pallet of the night
My fiddle has strings of my woman's own hair
I'll try to enjoy ye somehow
chorus
Who's comin' up the Eagle holler?
What's he doin h'yar?
News from him is cartain to foller
You can hear it jinglin' in the air
