Okolona River Bottom Band Lyrics By Bobbie Gentry

    lalala lala
    oh heyheyhey
    lalala lala

    every year ’bout this time local gentry
    have a meetin’ in chickasaw land
    they all come to judge each and every entry
    that wants to try out for the okolona band

    all the way from the kosciusko
    up from biloxi shore
    all in all there’s not a halfgrown man
    that wouldn’t like to be
    in the okolona river bottom band

    lalala lala
    oh heyheyhey
    lalala lala

    the semiannual
    come as you canual
    five man bandual
    okolona river bottom band

    lalala lala
    oh heyheyhey
    lalala lala

    the backwood majority
    no hold barredy
    come as you areedy
    okolona river bottom band

    lalala lala

    all the way from kosciusko
    up from biloxi shore
    all in all there’s not a halfgrown man
    who wouldn’t like to be
    in the okolona river bottom band

    lalala lala

    see i told you society
    green apple pieety
    delta variety
    okolona river bottom band

    lalala lala
    oh heyheyhey
    lalala lala

    i gave you my dog
    oh i got a dog
    you you got a friend
    don’t i
    that’s the end
    amen
