 Click here to listen to the original recording
Come along, fetch along,
Bring long a demijohn.
Rye bread, dry bread,
Do to choke a nigger on,
Green corn.

Sook pie, sook pie (?),
Come get a nubbin.
When it’s gone,
Come get another one.
Sook pie.

God made goose,
God made a gosling,
God made a little girl
To chew pine rosin,
Green corn.

Also found in Randolph, Vol. II, #267, “I’ll Meet You in the Evening.”
