Feudin' and Fightin' - 1947 - Dame Gracie Fields

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 20 Aug 2001

Beyond the busy highway,
Beyond the city strife,
We highly treasure
And take great pleasure,
In our plain way of life.
Along the pleasant byways,
Beneath a friendly sky,
No courthouse capers,
We don't serve papers
To trim some other guy.
Our troubles never stick,
We get them over quick.

Feudin' and fussin' and a fightin'
Sometimes it gets to be excitin'
Don't like them ornery neighbours
Down by the creek,
We'll be plumb out of neighbours
Next week.
Grandma, poor ol' grandma
Why'd they have to shoot poor grandma.
She lies 'neath the clover
Someone caught her bending over
Pickin' up a daisy!
Feudin' and fussin' and a fightin'
This is a wrong that needs a rightin',
Let's get that funeral service over
So then we can start in a Feudin' again.

Feudin' and fussin' and a fightin'
That's all that's goin' on with us'n
We are such neighbourly people,
Peaceful and sweet,
All except when we happen to meet.
Daughter, baby daughter,
Poisoned all the neighbour's chickens.
Daughter hadn't oughter
Least 'til she could run like the dickens.
They hit her with a shovel!
Feudin' and fussin' and a fightin'
No use a standin' here a cussin'
Let's give our daughter a pistol
Now that she's four to go
Feudin' and Fightin' some more.
