I lived in a place called Okfuskee
And I had a little girl in a holler tree
I said, little girl, it's plain to see

Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


She said it's hard for me to see
How one little boy got so ugly
Yes my little girly that might be

But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


Way over yonder in the minor key
Way over yonder in the minor key
There ain't nobody that can sing like me


We walked down by the Buckeye Creek
To see the frog eat the goggle-eye bee

To hear the west wind whistle to the east
There ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


Oh my little girly will you let me see
Way over yonder where the wind blows free

Nobody can see in our holler tree

And there ain't nobody that can sing like me

Ain't nobody that can sing like me

Way over yonder in the minor key

Way over yonder in the minor key
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
And laid it on the she and me
It stung lots worse than a hive of bees

But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


Now I have walked a long long ways
And I still look back to my Tanglewood days
I've led lots of girls since then to stray

Saying ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


Way over yonder in the minor key
Way over yonder in the minor key
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


Ain't nobody that can sing like me
