Jim Dixon Songs about 'That Thing' (56* d) Lyr Add: DON'T BITE THAT THING (McFadden) 29 Oct 17

DON'T BITE THAT THING
As recorded by Charlie "Specks" McFadden, 1929.

Way down south among the sugar cane, (2x)
People down there they learnt to bite that thing just the same.

You can't live in Harlem without you get in the ring.
You can't hardly live in Harlem without you get in the ring.
Behold Seventh Avenue; they have learnt how to bite that thing.

Some bites it hot and some bites it cold. (2x)
I would not bite one, baby, to save your soul.

Some likes their molasses, they sop with cheap bread they make.
Some likes their molasses, sop it with the bread they make.
No you ain't gonna do bite that thing right in my face.

I had a friend had a gal; [and] they are not together now. (2x)
Seem like you'd bite that thing, mama, anyhow.
