  G            C       G
Dooley was a good ole man

   G                 D
He lived below the mill

  G                C
Dooley had two daughters

        G      D      G
And a forty-gallon still
[Verse 2]
   G                  C
One gal watched the boiler

  G                   D
The other watched the spout

    G                   C
And mama corked the bottles

          G        D         G
And ole Dooley fetched 'em out
[Chorus]
   G
Dooley slippin' up the holler

    C                   G
Dooley try to make a dollar

   G
Dooley give me a swaller

           D               G
And I'll pay you back someday
[Break] | G C | G D | D G | | G | % | % | [Verse 3]
   G             C
The revenuers came for him

     G                D
A-sippin' though the woods

   G            C
Dooley kept behind them all

   G        D         G
And never lost his goods
[Verse 4]
  G            C
Dooley was a trader

    G                 D
When into town he'd come

   G             C
Sugar by the bushel

       G       D      G
And molasses by the ton
[Chorus]
   G
Dooley slippin' up the holler

    C
Dooley try to make a dollar

    G
Dooley gimme a swaller

       D                G
And I'l pay you back someday

   G              C
I remember very well

  G                   D
The day 'ole Dooley died

    G                    C
The women folk were sorry

          G         D          G
And the men stood round and cried
[Verse 6]
   G                   C
Now Dooley's on the mountain

   G                 D
He lies there all alone

    G             C
They put a jug beside him

         G        D     G
And a barrel for his stone
[Chorus]
   G
Dooley slippin' up the holler

    C
Dooley try to make a dollar

    G
Dooley gimme a swaller

       D                 G
And I'll pay you back someday

       D                 G
And I'll pay you back someday
