Billy Bragg (Stephen William Bragg, Barking, Essex, England, 20 December, 1957) is an English singer, songwriter and left-wing activist. His music blends elements of folk music, punk rock and protest songs, and his lyrics mostly deal with political or romantic themes.
In 1977, Bragg formed the punk rock/pub rock band Riff Raff, and toured London's pubs and clubs. The band released a series of singles, which did not receive wide exposure. He also worked in Guy Norris Records in Barking.

GC I lived in a place called Olfuskee CG And I had a little girl in a holler tree GC I said, little girl, it's plain to see CG There ain't nobody that can sing like me DC Ain't nobody that can sing like me
GC She said its hard for me to see CG how one little boy got so ugly GC Yes, my little girly that might be CG but there ain't nobody that can sing like me DC Ain't nobody that can sing like me CG Way over yonder in the minor key AmG Way over yonder in the minor key DC There ain't nobody that can sing like me
(same chords progression)
[Verse 2] (same sa verse 1)
We walked on down by the buckeye creek to see the frog eat the goggle eyed bee to hear that west wind whistle to the east there ain't nobody that can sing like me Oh my little girly will you let me see way over yonder where the wind blows free Nobody can see in our holler tree and there ain't nobody that can sing like me
[Chorus] (same as verse)
Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key There ain't nobody that can sing like me
[Verse 2] (same sa verse 1)
Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree and laid it on the she and me It stung much worse than the hive of bees but there ain't nobody that can sing like me Now I have walked a long long ways but I still look back to my tanglewood days I've led lots of girls since then to stray saying, ain't nobody that can sing like me
[Chorus] (same as verse)
Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key There ain't nobody that can sing like me
