HAM BEATS ALL MEAT
As recorded by Dr. Humphrey Bate & His Possum Hunters, 1928.

1. White folks go to butcher shop to buy that ol' cow meat.
Darkeys go to the smokehouse and grab that ham that's sweet.

CHORUS: Ham beats all meat (always good and sweet).
Ham beats all meat (always ready for to eat).
Ham beats all meat (always good and sweet).
Ham beats all meat (always ready for to eat).

2. White folks in the dining room, eatin' on the mutton an' lamb,
Darkeys in the kitchen, going for the good sweet ham.
