Snuff Dipper

G                              
Over there in Gleason Tennessee, 
    A7
where I was born and raised
 D                                 
I used to take a moonlight stroll 
in the pasture where the milk cows 
G
graze
One night there she was, sitting up 
on the fence
I grinned at her, she grinned back, 
I could tell she had some sense
Said,"I'm real pleased to meet ya, 
Mam. You look like a diamond in the 
rough."
She said,"Shut up your fancy talk 
and give me a pinch of that snuff."
Well I'm gonna have to admit now, I 
was just a little bit surprised
When I handed her that box of snuff,
 there was love in that woman's eyes

        C                          
        Snuff dipper, snuff dipper,
                    G
 it's the story of my life

        Snuff dipper, snuff dipper,
                             G
 bet she'd make me a wonderful wife


So I courted that gal in the tater 
patch, I courted her in the sorghum 
cane
I kissed her in the sunshine, I even
 kissed her out in the rain
First time I kissed them 
snuff-stained lips we was sittin' on
 a holler log
She had breath on her that would 
stifle a Hampshire hog
I said, "Whoo! What a pucker! You 
really know your stuff."
She said, "You didn't want no kiss 
at all. You just stole my pinch of 
snuff."



Then one night, when the time was 
right, I said, "Sweety, we ought to 
get wise.
Two can dip just as cheap as one if 
we's to get that giant economy 
size."
So we went to the preacher's house, 
I said, "Preacher, we'd like to get 
wed."
He tied the knot, said, "Like her or
 not, she's yours 'til you're plum 
dead."
I said, " Here, lemme pay you 
something. Reckon a dollar'd be 
enough?"
He said, "Naw, just keep your money,
 boy, and gimme a dip of that 
snuff."
Well, I got me a level headed woman 
now, she's the sweetest thing in the
 South
Reason I know she's level headed, I 
seen it running out of both sides of
 her mouth.
