When the moon comes over old
G 
Smoky, I hear a lonesome hound or whale.
I know it's time to grab my hat
and coat for old
C 
Gobbler's hit the trail.
It's up through the hollow and down through the draw,

Talk, gobbler, talk!
G 
Talk, gobbler, talk!
That music echoes through my ears.
C 
Talk, gobbler, talk!
B 
I yell, go, gobbler, go, boy,
G 
as I hit the ground on the run.
That old foxhound is a -pickin' him up,
I know a race has just begun.
