I Can Whip The Scoundrel |
| The yankees came to Baldwin, they came upon the rear |
| They thought they’d find old Abner but old Abner was not there |
| So lay 10 dollars down, or 20 if you choose |
| For I can whip the yankee, that stole old Abner’s shoes |
| Jeff Davis was a gentleman |
| Jeff Davis was no fool |
| Jeff Davis rode a dapple gray |
| And Abe Lincoln rode a mule |
| So lay 10 dollars down, or 20 if you choose |
| For I can take the hide off the yankee, that stole old Abner’s shoes |
| The yankees took me prisoner, they used me rough it’s true |
| They took from me my knapsack and they stole bys blanket too |
| So lay 10 dollars down, or 20 if you choose |
| For I can whip the scoundrel, that stole old Abner’s shoes |
| The yankees took me prisoner, and if I get parole |
| I’ll go right back and fight them, I will upon my soul |
| Then lay 10 dollars down, or 20 if you choose |
| For I can whip the yankee, that stole old Abner’s shoes |
| For I can whip the yankee, that stole old Abner’s shoes |
