The Blue Warblers | Lyrics from Birds
Catch His Eye
By Kim Beggs/ Out Of A Paperbag Productions
Kim Beggs - lead vocal, guitar
Natalie Edelson - harmony, banjo
Amelia Rose - fiddle
Get to the other side of the mountain
Fill me up at the Moonshine fountain
Johnny boy's working, running the still
Gonna Catch his eye and maybe then-some
Old wood floor and the oldtyme fiddle
Put on the dress, Kick up my heals and
Maybe then Johnny won't see through (me)
Gonna Catch his eye and maybe then-some
Hard for a girl living in the hills
Can't get nothing if the boys can't see her
Strong as a man, big ideas
In her head and hardly any tears
Momma keeps making 'em one by one
Babies in bonnets all crying at once
Keeping me home, not having any fun
Can't Catch his eye and maybe then-some
I feel like a momma but I know I'm not
Never had time in the bushes oh boy
Like Mary Anne, and sweet Colleen
Gonna Catch his eye and maybe then-some
Mama says Sweet Abigail
Don't be forgetting young girl days
Cause I know soon you'll be on your way
Gonna Catch his eye and maybe then-some
Get to the other side of the mountain
Fill me up at the Moonshine fountain
Johnny boy's working, running the still
Gonna Catch his eye and maybe then-some
