Bile em Cabbage Down / Traditional Folk Song / Banjo

Bile em cabbage down- lyrics
Guitar fingerpick
Banjo standard tuning

Bile `em cabbage down ,boys, turn them hoecakes `round
the only song that I can sing is bile `em cabbage down(repeat after every two verses)

Racoon in a simmon tree, possum on the ground
Possom said you son-of-a-gun, hey, shake them simmons down

Grandpa had a muley cow, muley since it`s born
It took a jaybird forty years, to fly from horn to horn

Granny apple in a tree, cabbage in the ground
Grandma had a sip of corn and run old grandpa down

Once I had an old gray mule His name was Simon Slick
He roll his eyes in back of his ears And how that mule would kick

Took my gal to the blacksmith shop, To have her mouth made small
She turned around a time or two, And swallowed shop and all

Went up on the mountain just to give my horn a blow
Thought I heard my true love say, yonder comes my beau

Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall
If I can`t have the one I love I don`t want no one at all
