lyrics

when you pick up a pecan nut off the ground, it's too hard to crack in the palm of your hand. but if you find two pecans, you can squeeze them together in the palm of your hand, and the pecan that is of weaker shell will break open, and you can eat the goody.

Dabney, Dabney, Dabney, why'd you come here just to leave me
Dabney, Dabney, Dabney, why'd you have to go
Dabney, Dabney, Dabney, float me down that Mississippi
Dabney, Dabney, Dabney, why'd you have to go

back by the river, fronted by the graveyard
fronted by the graveyard, back by the river
we walked all night

if you find two pecan nuts that are of equal hardness of shell, you can squeeze them together in the palm of your hand and they both break open, and you can eat both goodies.

don't go to work, don't go to work
just stay right here, don't go to work

don't go to school, don't go to school
'cause that's uncool

woodmen of the world
dum tacet clamat

Dabney, Dabney, Dabney, why'd you come here just to leave me
Dabney, Dabney, Dabney, why'd you have to go
Dabney, Dabney, Dabney, float me down that Mississippi
Dabney, Dabney, Dabney, why'd you have to go
