Lyrics for 'Boil that Cabbage Down'

Went up on the mountain,
And I give my horn a blow,
Thought I heard my true love say,
"Yonder comes my beau!"

Boil that cabbage down,
Bake that hoecakes brown,
Craziest song I ever heard,
Boil that cabbage down.

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.

Boil that cabbage down,
Bake that hoecakes brown,
Craziest song I ever heard,
Boil that cabbage down.

Possum in a 'simmon tree,
Raccoon on the ground,
Raccoon says, "You son-of-a-gun,
Shake some 'simmons down!"

Boil that cabbage down,
Bake that hoecakes brown,
Craziest song I ever heard,
Boil that cabbage down.

Someone stole my hunting dog,
Wish they'd bring him back,
He chased the big hogs through the fence,
And the little ones through the crack.

Boil that cabbage down,
Bake that hoecakes brown,
Craziest song I ever heard,
Boil that cabbage down.

Met a possum in the road,
Blind as he could be,
Jumped the fence and whipped my dog,
And bristled up at me.

Boil that cabbage down,
Bake that hoecakes brown,
Craziest song I ever heard,
Boil that cabbage down.

Once I had an old gray mule,
His name was Simon Slick,
He'd roll his eyes and back his ears,
And how that mule would kick!

Boil that cabbage down,
Bake that hoecakes brown,
Craziest song I ever heard,
Boil that cabbage down.

There's gold up in them there hills,
I know it for the truth,
For my gal fell up there,
And lost her new front tooth.

Boil that cabbage down,
Bake that hoecakes brown,
Craziest song I ever heard,
Boil that cabbage down.
