Over there in Gleeson Tennessee Where I was born and raised I used to take a moonlight stroll in the pasture Where the milk cows grazed One night there she was Sittin' up on the fence I grinned at her and she grinned back I could tell she had some sense I said I'm real pleased to meet you ma'am 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 it now I'm just a little bit surprised When I handed her that box of snuff It was love in that woman's eyes Snuff dipper, snuff dipper The story of my life Snuff dipper, snuff dipper Bet she'd make me a wonderful wife So I courted that gal in the tatter patch I courted her in the sorghum cane Kissed her in the sunshine Even kissed her out in the rain First time I kissed him snuff stain A little fruit was sittin' on a hollow 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 Snuff dipper, snuff dipper The story of my life Snuff dipper, snuff dipper Bet she'd make me a wonderful wife Then one night when the time was right I said sweetie we ought to get wise Two could dip just as deep as one We should 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 and said like it or not She's yours 'til you're plum dead I said here let me pay you something Reckon a dollar'd be enough He said no just keep your money boy And give me 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 a runnin' out of both sides of her little mouth Snuff dipper, snuff dipper The story of my life Snuff dipper, snuff dipper Now I got one for a wife
