Where'd you get your whiskey, where'd you get your dram?
I got it from a little girl way down in Rockingham.
Refrain
Rocky Road Cindy, rocky road to town,
Rocky Road Cindy, way down in Rockingham.
I went down to Rockingham, I did not go to stay,
I fell in love with a pretty girl and I could not get away.
Lips as red as a red rose, her hair was huckleberry brown,
The sweetest girl I ever saw, way down in Rockingham.
"Rockingham Cindy" is a related tune.
