2nd South Carolina String Band - Goober PeasLyrics

Sitting by the roadside on a summer's day Chatting with my mess-mates passing time away Lying in the shadows underneath the trees Goodness how delicious eating goober peas / C - F C / - - Dm D7G / C - F C / - F CG7 C / {Refrain} Peas, peas, peas, peas, eating goober peas Goodness how delicious eating goober peas / C F G7 C / - F CG7 C / When a horse-man passes, the soldiers have a rule To cry out their loudest, "Mister, here's your mule!" But another custom, enchanting-er than these Is wearing out your grinders, eating goober peas {Refrain} Just before the battle, the General hears a row He says "The Yanks are coming, I hear their rifles now" He looks down the roadway and what d'you think he sees The Georgia Militia eating goober peas {Refrain} I think my song has lasted almost long enough The subject's interesting but the rhymes are mighty rough I wish this war was over so free from rags and fleas We'd kiss our wives and sweethearts, and gobble goober peas
