Linda Lou (c)2009 Allen/Kaufman/Wood

Sittin out front of Wisecups store
in a rousin game of checkerboard
Sunday afternoon no work to do
just chewin the fat and chawin a chew

Me and Billy Joe goin head to head
I was black and he was red
When down the mountain come a pickup truck
Billy jumped my queen when I stood up

Chorus
Prettiest girl I ever seen
Stepped out the right and into my dreams
I was gonna learn what the other boys knew
Better stay away from Linda Lou

Her momma stepped out of the drivers side
And she pointed a shotgun at my thigh
Boy one warnins all I give
Best stick to checkers if you wanna live

Billys on the ground a bustin a gut
Boy get back you’re gonna get hurt
Men on the mountain gonna tell you the truth
Her mama gonna teach ya the buck shot blues

Chorus
Prettiest girl I ever seen
Headed back to the holler and out of my dreams
I’d just learned what the other boys new
Better stay away from Linda lou

Gotta a mean mountain mama 
That Linda lou
Gonna make you sing 
The buckshot blues
Better stay away
Better stay away from Linda lou
