First Verse:

Sitting by the roadside on a summer day,

Chatting with my mess mates passing time away,

Lying in the shadow underneath the trees,

Goodness how delicious, eating goober peas.

 

Second Verse:
Just before the battle, The General hears a row,

He says, "The Yanks are coming I hear their rifles now."

He turns around in wonder, And what do you think he sees?

The Georgia Militia, Eating goober peas!

 

Chorus:

Peas, peas, peas, peas, Eating goober peas.

Goodness how delicious eating goober peas.

Peas, peas, peas, peas, Eating goober peas.

Goodness how delicious eating goober peas.
