BLACK THEM BOOTS Sung by: Jack Escue Recorded in Sidney, AR 8/30/57 Click here to listen to the original recording Goodbye and a-goodbye. Black them boots and a-make them shine, Goodbye, Liza Jane. Chorus: Oh, how I love her, Ain't that a shame? Oh, how I love her, And a goodbye, Liza Jane. Hawk caught a chicken and he flew upstairs, Goodbye and a goodbye. Hawk caught a chicken and he flew upstairs, Goodbye, Liza Jane. (Chorus) (Mr. Escue: "In this sing and play, they're all around in a circle and first start out on "Black Them Boots," why, they start out just right and left all around the ring until you meet your partner and you swing her once and a half and each lady the same way until you meet your partner and then you all promenade and go home and start the same play again. See, that's the way they do that.) Also found in Randolph, Vol. III, #550. |
