QUIT THAT TICKIN ME- Fiddlin John Carson 1927
(Fiddle)
Quit that ticklin’ me, quit that ticklin’ me
You go away and let me be and quit that ticklin’ me.
Stop that, quit that, quit that ticklin’ me.
You go away and let me be and quit that ticklin’ me.
(Fiddle)
Mossa had a little grey mule, called him Simon Slick,
The mule it had and how that mule could kick
Quit that ticklin’ me, quit that ticklin’ me
You go away and let me be and quit that ticklin’ me.
Quit that, stop that, quit that ticklin’ me.
You go away and let me be and quit that ticklin’ me.
(Fiddle)
Quit that ticklin’ me, quit that ticklin’ me
You go away and let me be and quit that ticklin’ me.
Quit that, stop that, quit that ticklin’ me.
You go away and let me be and quit that ticklin’ me.
(Fiddle)
Would not marry and old maid and I’ll tell you the reason why
Neck so long you’d strain your hands ‘fraid she’d never die
Quit that ticklin’ me, quit that ticklin’ me
You go away and let me be and quit that ticklin’ me.
Stop that, quit that, quit that ticklin’ me.
You go away and let me be and quit that ticklin’ me.
(Fiddle)
Went up on the mountain as high as I could go,
Thought I heard my baby say, “Yonder comes my beau.”
Quit that ticklin’ me, quit that ticklin’ me
You go away and let me be and quit that ticklin’ me.
Stop that, quit that, quit that ticklin’ me.
You go away and let me be and quit that ticklin’ me.
(Fiddle)
