 Click here to listen to the original recording
Come along, fetch along,
Bring along a Jimmy John.
Dry bread, dry bread,
Do to choke a nigger on,
Green corn.

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

God made goose,
And God made 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.”
