A man that was old come a-courting one day |
| [00:19.04] |
And the girls wouldn't have him |
| [00:22.57] |
He come down the lane on a walking cane |
| [00:25.94] |
With his overshoes on and his leggings |
| [00:29.56] |
My mother she told me to give him a chair |
| [00:32.96] |
For the girls wouldn't have him |
| [00:36.48] |
I give him a chair and he looked mighty queer |
| [00:39.67] |
With his overshoes on and his leggings |
| [00:56.87] |
My mother she told me to hang up his hat |
| [01:00.36] |
For the girls wouldn't have him |
| [01:03.65] |
I hung up his hat and he kicked at the cat |
| [01:06.87] |
With his overshoes on and his leggings |
| [01:10.66] |
My mother she told me to give him some meat |
| [01:13.76] |
For the girls wouldn't have him |
| [01:17.16] |
I give him some meat, and oh how he did eat |
| [01:20.46] |
With his overshoes on and his leggings |
| [01:37.43] |
My mother she told me to give him the hoe |
| [01:40.96] |
For the girls wouldn't have him |
| [01:44.20] |
I give him the hoe and he jumped Jim Crow |
| [01:47.57] |
With his overshoes on and his leggings |
| [01:51.10] |
My mother she told me to give him the saw |
| [01:54.34] |
For the girls wouldn't have him |
| [01:57.74] |
I give him the saw and he played "Rye Straw" |
| [02:01.07] |
With his overshoes on and his leggings |
| [02:18.00] |
My mother she told me to put him to bed |
| [02:21.51] |
For the girls wouldn't have him |
| [02:24.80] |
I put him to bed and he stood on his head |
| [02:27.91] |
With his overshoes on and his leggings |
| [02:31.50] |
My mother she told me to send him away |
| [02:34.83] |
For the girls wouldn't have him |
| [02:38.19] |

| [02:41.51] |
With his overshoes on and his leggings |
| [02:44.94] |
