WEEVILY WHEAT

"J.D.A. Ogilvy learned this from Mrs. W.V. Hoagland, who had picked it up while teaching in Wyoming in the late 1890's"

Come down this way with your weevily wheat
Come down this way with your barley
Come down this way with your weevily wheat
To make a cake for Charley

Do you think I'd marry the likes of you?
Do you think I'd marry my cousin?
When I can get plenty of girls like you
For a cent and a half a dozen?

If you can get plenty of girls like me
For a cent and a half a dozen
You'd better buy a load or two
And ship them down to London

"Amzie Casner Tabor of Trinidad, Colorado, remembered this from around 1900 as a dance like a Virginia reel to teach children their multiplication tables."

I don't want none of your weevily wheat
I don't want none of your barley
Take some flour in the course of an hour
To bake a cake for Charley

Charley he's a nice young man
Charley he's a dandy
Charley he's the very lad
That feeds the girls on candy

Five times five is twenty-five
Six times five is thirty,
(and so on up to)
Twelve times five is sixty

Again, there's that dialogue bit in the first one, and - interestingly - clear evidence of the song's appropriation by a school in the second example.
