BEAVER CAP
As recorded by Riley Puckett, 1930.

1. I went to town the other day to buy me a hat, sir.
They throwed me down a beaver cap with the brim all broad and flat, sir.
[After each verse:] True-la-la, fa-la-lay, true-la-la-la-lay [yodel]

2. I wore it home that very same night; I hung it on the head o' my bed, sir,
An' ev'ry time that I woke up, I tried it on my head, sir.

3. I woke up the very next morning feeling kind o' flat, sir.
I went out and set a hen in my beaver cap, sir.

4. Then my wife got mad at me; she took me by the knap, sir,
Throwed those blisters on my back with my beaver cap, sir.

5. I went out the very next morning, feeling kind o' frisky.
I filled my cap up to the brim with that good old whiskey.

6. I went down in the field the other day a-feeling kind o' punk, sir.
I pitched my cap upon the stump and pitched to a happy clog(?), sir.
