Biography:
The Dillards are an American bluegrass band from Salem, Missouri, popularly known for their appearance as "The Darlings" on The Andy Griffith Show.
Though The Dillards were already an established bluegrass band, their biggest claim to fame is performing musically as members of the fictional Darling family on The Andy Griffith Show, introducing bluegrass to many Americans who had never heard it. This was a recurring role and the Dillards were led by veteran character actor Denver Pyle as their father and jug player, Briscoe Darling.

A D
Dooley was a good ole man
A E
He lived below the mill
A D
Dooley had two daughters
E A
And a forty-gallon still
One gal watched the boiler
The other watched the spout
And mama corked the bottles
When ole Dooley fetched 'em out
Chorus:
A
Dooley slippin' up the holler
D
Dooley try to make a dollar
A
Dooley give me a swaller
E A
And I'll pay you back someday
(Banjo solo)
The revenuers came for him
A-sippin' though the woods
Dooley kept behind them all
And never lost his goods
Dooley was a trader
When into town he'd come
Sugar by the bushel
And molasses by the drum
Chorus:
Dooley slippin' up the holler
Dooley try to make a dollar
Dooley gimme a swaller
And I'l pay you back someday
(Banjo Solo)
I remember very well
The day ole Dooley died
The women folk looked sorry
And the men stood round and cried
Now Dooley's on the mountain
He lies there all alone
They put a jug beside him
And a barrel for his stone
Chorus:
Dooley slippin' up the holler
Dooley try to make a dollar
Dooley gimme a swaller
And I'll pay you back someday
