Do Johnny Booger, won't you help with this digging,
Do Johnny Booger, won't you do.
It's in the mud, it . . . my heel,
And I put my shoulder to the wheel.
It's come up, buck, I'm going to chew your ears,
And do Johnny Booger, won't you help this nigger,
Do Johnny Booger, won't you do.

Also found in Randolph, Vol. II, #268, "Mister Booger."
