Carter, one couplet appears in "The Black Diamond Songster," published in the 1840s:
"Forty weight of gunger bread and fifty weight of cheese,
A great big pumpkin and a band box of peas,
An Indian pudding and a pumpkin pie,
De white cat kicked out the grey cat's eye.
O, Jenny get, [your hoecake done my dear]."
