Turkey Buzzard Blues
[Verse 1: Peg Leg Howell & Eddie Anthony]
Had a long gal, she was tall and thin
Had a long gal, she was tall and thin
Had a long gal, she was tall and thin
Every time she [jigs?] I said 'do it again!'
[Verse 2: Peg Leg Howell & Eddie Anthony]
If you got six bits that you think you wan to spend
Got six bits, you think you wan to spend
Got six bits, you think you wan to spend
Go around the corner and [cop it?] till you win
[Verse 3: Peg Leg Howell & Eddie Anthony]
(Now) Me and my gal went a'chinquapin huntin'
Me and my gal went a'chinquapin huntin'
Me and my gal went a'chinquapin huntin'
She fell down and I saw somethin'!
[Verse 4: Peg Leg Howell & Eddie Anthony]
Have you ever went fishing on a bright sunny day?
Standin' on the bank, see the little fish play
Hands in your pockets, in your pockets in you pants
See the little fishes do the hoochie coochie dance!
[Verse 5: Peg Leg Howell & Eddie Anthony]
Now, I had an old hen and had a peg leg
Fattest old hen that ever laid a egg
It laid more eggs than hens around the barn
Another little drink wouldn't do me no harm
[Verse 6: Peg Leg Howell & Eddie Anthony]
There's sugar in the gourd, but I can't get it out
Sugar in the gourd but I can't get it out
Sugar in the gourd but I can't get it out
Now, the way to get sugar, gotta roll it all about
