(Bill Hansen) Sittin' by the roadside on a summer's day. Talkin' with my comrades to pass the time away. Lying in the shade underneath the trees. Goodness how delicious, eating goober peas. [Chorus:] Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas. Goodness how delicious, eating goober peas. [Repeat] Just before the battle, the Gen'ral heard a row. He said, "The Yanks are coming. I hear their rifles now." He turned around in wonder and what do you think he sees? The Georgia militia eating goober peas! [Chorus] Think my song has lasted almost long enough. The subject is most interesting but rhymes are mighty rough. I wish this war was over, when free from rags and fleas, we'd kiss our wives and sweethearts and then we'd gobble goober peas!
