—Skillet Lickers
Well the night is dark and dreary
The air was cold as sleet
The old man stood out in the street
Had his shoes all full of (peat)
Well it
Ain't gonna rain no more
How in the world can the old folks tell
Ain't gonna rain no more.
Mosquito he fly high
Mosquito he fly low
Old man mosquito relax all day
Ain't gonna fly no more.
I went to see miss Sally
Miss Sally was not in
I set down on a red hot stove
And got right up again.
Last year I plowed my oxen
This year I plowed the mulie
Hand me down my split tail coat
I'm goin' home with Julie
Oh tom cat sittin on the top of the fence,
Sow cat sittin' on the ground
Tom cat made a pass at sow cat's foot
And they both went round and round.
I went out in the country
Set out under a bush
I sit down on a bumble bee
And he pulled back up and push!
I took my calico riding
And the water sure was wet
Boat turned over in the middle of the pond
She got her stockin's wet.
