Sook pie, cook pie, come get a nubbin.
When it’s all gone, come get another one.
Sook pie.

Come along, fetch along, bring along a demijohn.
Rye bread, dry bread, do to choke a nigger on.
Green corn.

God made a 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.”
