Thread Name: Lyr Req: Bile Them Cabbage Down
Subject: RE: New verses for Bile Them Cabbage Down
I was browsing for a song my dad used to sing me...and I found that it was very similar to verses from Boil Them Cabbages Down. Has anyone every heard this version with the reference to "Masser" (Master)?
Masser had an ol' coon dog, Wish he'd bring him back, Chased the little ones over the fence, The big ones through the crack.
(the first two lines of this next verse was slowed down a bunch, with the last two lines sped up a bunch, and sort of whispered.)
Oooooh, its almost morning, Can't you hear the old crow crowing... Hush, boys, don't make a noise, Poor ol' Masser's sleeping.
(Then dad would end it with this shortened 3 line verse.)
Go down to the barn, Make a little noise... and have a little banjo-pickin'
Email me if you have heard this version, or have any info on it! Please! voidpulp@aol.com
