© 2009Allen, Kaufman, Wood ASCAP

Sittin out front of Wisecups store
In a rousin’ game of checkerboard
Sunday afternoon no work to do
Justa chewin the fat and a chawin a chew

Me and Billy Joe goin head to head
I was black and he was red
When down the mountain come a pickup truck
Billy jumbed my queen when I stood up

Chorus
Prettiest girl I ever seen
Stepped out the right and into my dreams
I was gonna learn what the other boys knew
Better stay away from Linda Lou
Better stay away from Linda Lou

Her momma stepped out of the drivers side
And she pointed a shotgun on my side
Boy one warnins all I give
Better stick to checkers if you wanna live

Chorus
Lead

Billys on the ground a bustin a gut
Boy get back you’re gonna get hurt
Men on the mountain gonna tell you the truth
Her mama gonna make ya sing the buck shot blues

Chorus
Prettiest girl I ever seen
Headed back to the holler and out of my dreams
I’d just learned what the other boys new
Better stay away from Linda lou
Better stay away from Linda Lou
Better stay away from Linda Lou
Better stay away from Linda Lou

She gotta a mean mountain mama, that Linda Lou 
She gotta a mean mountain mama, that Linda Lou 
Such a mean mountain Mama, gonna make you sing the buckshot blues
Oh yes she is, look out boy, you in a whole mess a trouble.
