Here are some African-American words already posted above (in Ceolas) from Thede's fiddle book. They are taken from Charlie in 1918 Murray County, OK. They are similar to Cannon's "Feather Bed" and Uncle Dave's "Over the Road":

I went down town one day in a lope
Fool around till I stole a coat
Then I come back and I do my best
Fool around till I got the vest
O weep! O my Idy!
For over dat road I'm bound to go.

This 1918 version is one of the earliest version on record.
