FLY AROUND MY PRETTY LITTLE MISS- sung by Frank Proffitt, c. 1959.
[banjo]
Fly around pretty little miss
Fly around my daisy
Every time I see that girl
She almost drives me crazy
If I had a horse to ride
I’d be found a-crawlin'
Up and down this rocky road
Searching for my darlin'.
Fly around pretty little miss
Fly around my daisy
Every time I see that girl
She almost drives me crazy.
Every time I go up that road
Looking mighty cloudy
Every time I see that girl
She always hollers howdy.
