Bile Dat Cabbage Down Songtext

von Children Lyrics

Went up on the mountain
And I give my horn a blow;
Thought I heard my true love say,
"Yonder comes my beau!"

Bile dat cabbage down
Bake dat hoe-cake brown
Craziest song I ever heard,
Bile dat 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.

Bile dat cabbage down
Bake dat hoe-cake brown
Craziest song I ever heard,
Bile dat cabbage down.

Possum in a 'simmon tree,
Raccoon on the ground,
Raccoon says, "You son-of-a-gun,
Shake some 'simmons down!"

Bile dat cabbage down
Bake dat hoe-cake brown
Craziest song I ever heard,
Bile dat cabbage down.

Someone stole my hunting dog,
Wish they'd bring him back,
He chased the big hogs through the fence
And the little ones through the crack.

Bile dat cabbage down
Bake dat hoe-cake brown
Craziest song I ever heard,
Bile dat cabbage down.

Met a possum in the road,
Blind as he could be,
Jumped the fence and whipped my dog
And bristled up at me.

Bile dat cabbage down
Bake dat hoe-cake brown
Craziest song I ever heard,
Bile dat cabbage down.

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!

Bile dat cabbage down
Bake dat hoe-cake brown
Craziest song I ever heard,
Bile dat cabbage down.

There's gold up in them there hills,
I know it for the truth,
For my gal fell up there
And lost her new front tooth.

Bile dat cabbage down
Bake dat hoe-cake brown
Craziest song I ever heard,
Bile dat cabbage down.
