I walked out on the front an' I hollered
An' dogs An' dogs An' them dogs out from under the house barkin'
An' dogs An' them dogs come out from under the house
They knew we was goin' coon They knew we was goin' huntin'
An' dogs An' dogs
We started huntin', oh, we was havin' such a time

Give a sportin' chance
Whatever you do, give it a chance
An' them An' dogs An' them dogs come out from under the barkin'
We started We started
An' them We started huntin', oh, we was havin' a fine time
When you free a coon, hold the and cut the tree down, or either climb the tree and make the coon jump in amongst the dogs.
