Went up on the mountain
Just to give my horn a blow.
Thought I heard my true love say,
"Yonder comes my beau".
Chorus:
Bile dem cabbage down down,
Turn dem hoecakes round round,
The only song that I can sing,
Is bile dem cabbage down.
Took my gal to the blacksmith shop
To have her mouth made small.
She turned around a time or two
And swallowed shop and all.
Chorus
Possum in a 'simmon tree,
Raccoon on the ground.
Raccoon says, "You son-of-a-gun,
Shake some 'simmons down!"
Chorus
Grandma had a muley cow,
Muley she was born,
It took a jay bird thirty year
To fly from horn to horn.
Chorus
Someone stole my old 'coon dog,
Wish they'd bring him back.
He chased the big hogs through the fence
And the little ones through the crack.
Chorus
Met a possum in the road
Blind as he could be,
Jumped the fence and whipped my dog
And bristled up at me.
Chorus
|
Once I had an old gray mule
His name was Simon Slick.
He'd roll his eyes and back his ears
And how that mule would kick!
Chorus
How that mule would kick!
He kicked with his dying breath!
He shoved his hind feet down his throat
And kicked himself to death!
Chorus
Raccoon has a bushy tail,
Possum's tail is bare,
Rabbit's got no tail at all
Just a little bitty bunch of hair.
Chorus
Raccoon and the possum
Rackin' cross the prairie,
Raccoon ax the possum
Did she want to marry?
Chorus
Possum is a cunning thing,
He travels in the dark,
And never thinks to curl his tail
Till he hears old Rover bark.
Chorus
Jaybird died with the whoopin' cough,
Sparrow died with the colic.
Along come the frog with a fiddle on his back,
Inquirin' his way to the frolic.
Chorus
