Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Georgia Buck
Subject: Lyr Add: GEORGY BUCK (from Zora Neale Hurston)
These lines appear in the play De Turkey and de Law by Zora Neale Hurston, which has been reprinted in several volumes:

1. Georgy Buck is dead, last word he said
I don't want no shortenin' in my bread.

2. Rabbit on de log—ain't got no dog
How am I goin' git him, God knows.

3. Rabbit on de log—ain't got no dog
Shoot him wid my rifle, bam! bam!

4. Oh Georgy Buck is dead, last word he said
Never let a woman have her way.
