Green corn, green corn,
Bring along the Jimmy John.
Dry bread, dry bread,
Enough to choke a nigger on.
Nigger on the hillside,
See the master coming,
Bull whip in one hand,
No use a-running.

Turkey in the pea patch,
A-picking up peas,
Along come the bell cow,
A-kicking up her heels.

Also found in Randolph, Vol. II, #267, "I'll Meet You in the Evening."
