Verse 1
D 
A 
D 
A 
D 
In the Ozark Mountains,
there's a little town.
A 
And one day there came a salesman,
D 
Hilly Brown.
Now Hilly was attractive,
he had a city air.
A 
His clothes were flashy models
and he plastered down his hair.
D 
A 
When the village virgin,
Little Nell by name,
D 
saw this new Adonis,
A 
she loved him without shame.
D 
She listened to his tempting
and gave to him her heart.
A 
Till one morning early
Bm 
she saw Hilly Brown depart.
D 
The older folk was angry.
G 
D 
They decided on re course.
E 
They hired a slick attorney
C# 
and they said with all their force,
D 
Oh, Will Bill, Hilly, yes, Will Bill, Hilly,
A 
for the damage what he done to little Nell,
D 
G 
our Nell, she's an ill filly, yes, an ill filly,
D 
for he done his damage
A 
D 
and he done it well.
A year passed by
and Nellie added to the fold,
A 
two lovely little baby brothers,
D 
A 
twins with hair of gold, flax and gold.
D 
It was the village scandal,
two boys without no paw,
A 
for Hilly Brown was missing,
Bm 
he had escaped the law.
D 
A 
But one day the salesman, like a fool,
D 
came back.
A 
And when the old folks saw him,
they took a different tack.
D 
They fired the slick attorney,
Bm 
D 
and they sharpened up a knife.
A 
Ooh, poor Hilly Brown was frightened,
D 
for he feared they'd take his life.
G 
D 
But they got him in a corner,
and they said,
here's what we'll do.
E 
D 
Two little things you gave to Nellie,
A 
so two little things we'll take
from you.
D 
Oh now, will Hilly Mercy,
will Hilly ever damage
anyone like little Nell?
A 
D 
G 
No, nor will Hilly send a bill,
D 
Hilly's got but one thing left,
A 
D 
and that he cannot sell.
