Songster Bob	nostalgia...Pogo does F.J. Child (47)	RE: nostalgia...Pogo does F.J. Child	11 Jan 11
From my recent fascination with the Minstrel banjo style, I can tell you that "Possum Up a Gum Stump" is an 1840s Minstrel-stage song. Possum Up a Gum Stump Possum up de gum stump, Raccoon in de holler; Twist 'im out, an' git 'im down, An' I'll give you a half a dollar. Possum up de gum stump, Yes, cooney in de holler; A pretty gal down my house Jes as fat as she can waller. Possum up de gum stump, His jaws is black an' dirty; To come an' kiss you, pretty gal, I'd run like a gobbler turkey. Possum up de gum stump, A good man's hard to find; You'd better love me, pretty gal, You'll git de udder kind. A version of the tune Bob
