Whoe Back Buck |
| 18, 19--20 years ago, |
| Took my gal to the country store, |
| Took my gal to the country store, |
| Buy m' pretty little gal little calico. |
| Me and my gal walkin' down the road, |
| Her knees knock together playin' «Sugar In The Gourd», |
| Sugar in the gourd and the gourd in the ground, |
| If you want a little sugar got to roll the gourd around. |
| My old man’s good old man |
| Washed his face in a frying pan, |
| Combed his hair with a wagon wheel, |
| And died with a toothache in his heel. |
| Papa loved mama---mama loved men,(three times) |
| Mama’s in the graveyard and papa’s in the pen. |
| I gee to the mule but the mule wouldn’t gee, (3 times) |
| So I hit him side the head with the single tree. |
| I haw to the mule wouldn’t haw, (3 times) |
| So I broke his back with my mother-in-law. |
