Boil Them Cabbage Down


2 2 2 2 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 1
Went up on a moun-tain give my horn a blow, blow.

2 2 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 1 1 0
Thought I heard my true love say, "Yon-der comes my beau."

Chorus:

2 2 2 2 3 3
Boil them cab-bage down, down.

2 2 2 2 1 1
Turn them hoe-cakes 'round, 'round.

2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3
The on-ly song that I can sing is

2 2 1 1 0
Boil them cab-bage down.


Additional Verses:

Pos-sum in a 'sim-mon tree, Ra-coon on the ground.
Ra-coon says, you son-of-a-gun, throw some 'sim-mons down.

CHORUS

Some-one stole my old coon dog. Wish they'd bring him back.
He chased the big hogs thru the fence, and the little ones thru the crack.

CHORUS

Met a pos-sum in the road, blind as he cold be.
Jumped the fence and whipped my dog and brist-led up at me.

CHORUS

Butter-fly, he has wings of gold. Fire-fly, wings of flame.
Bed-bug, he got no wings at all, but he gets there just the same.

(Many more verses)
