Bile* Them Cabbage Down

*pronounced "boil"


Went up on the mountain
Just to give my horn a blow
Thought I heard my true love say
Yonder comes my beau

Bile them cabbage down
Turn them hoecakes brown
The only song that I can sing
Is bile them cabbage down

Possum in a simmon tree
Raccoon on the ground
Raccoon says you son-of-a-gun
Shake some Simmons down

CHORUS

Someone stole my old 'coon dog
Wish they'd bring him back
He chase the big hogs through the fence
And the little ones through the crack

CHORUS

This is Nicole's favorite song from her beginning clawhammer banjo class. Can't say that I blame her.
