BOIL THEM CABBAGE DOWN Sung by: Leman James Recorded in Cave City, AR 7/23/59 Click here to listen to the original recording Bake that hoecake brown. The only song that I can sing Is "Boil Them Cabbage Down." Once I had an old gray horse; Rode him down to town. 'Fore I got my trading done, The buzzards had him down. (Chorus) Wish I had a needle and thread, As fine as I could sew. I'd sew that girlie to my coat, And down the road I'd go. (Chorus) Wisht I had a nickel, Wisht I had a dime, Wisht I had a pretty little girl To love me all the time. (Chorus) |
