| lyric | 1. Raccoon has a bushy tail,
Possum’s tail is bare,
Rabbit’s got no tail at all,
Just a little bunch of hair.
Chorus:
Bile them cabbage down, down,
Bake that hoecake brown, brown,
the only song that I can sing,
I sbile them cabbage down.
2. Raccoon and the possum
Traveling ’cross the prairie,
Raccoon asked the possum
Did she want to marry?
3. Possum is a cunnin’ thing,
He travels in the dark,
And never thinks to curl his tail
Till he hears old Rover bark.
4. Possum up an apple tree,
Raccoon on the ground,
Raccoon say to the possum,
’Won’t you shake them apples down?’
5. 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. |
