MELINDY CINDY Sung by: Neal Morris Recorded in Timbo, AR 7/18/59 Click here to listen to the original recording Hey day, Melindy Cindy, Bye-bye, Melindy Cindy, Tell me where Melindy Cindy gone. Hey day, Melindy Cindy, Bye-bye, Melindy Cindy, Tell me where Melindy Cindy gone. Well, the old Missouri nigger said: "Do you love mush?" Can you tell me where Melindy Cindy gone? And the Alabama nigger said: "The good God, hush." Can you tell me where Melindy Cindy gone? (Chorus) Well, way down yonder on the Beavers creek, Can you tell me where Melindy Cindy gone? Well, the niggers, they growed some ten, eleven feet. Tell me where Melindy Cindy gone. (Chorus) Well, the ugliest man I ever saw, Tell me where Melindy Cindy gone, Was born and raised in Arkansas. Tell me where Melindy Cindy gone. Put on his shirt all over his coat, Tell me where Melindy Cindy gone, And he buttoned his britches Up around his throat. Tell me where Melindy Cindy gone. (Chorus) |
