Well now, that clover man way up in Dundee
Well now, that clover man way up in Dundee
Well now, you go down to Mr. Howard Stovall's place, he's got all the burr clover you need

Well now, the reason that I love that old burr clover farm so well
Well now, the reason that I love that old burr clover farm so well
Well now, we always have money and we never raise no hell

Well now, I'm leaving this morning, and I sure do hate to go
Well now, I'm leaving this morning, and I sure do hate to go
Well now, I've got to leave this burr clover farm, I ain't coming back no more

Now, good bye everybody and I may not coming back again
Now, good bye everybody and I may not coming back again
Well now, I've got to leave this burr clover farm, my baby don't want me around

Well, so long, so long, you gonna need my help, I say
Well, so long, so long, you gonna need my help, I say
Well now, I here do wanna sell you some burr clover, honey, just before I go away
