Greetings!
I found this thread by reading a reference to the Calypso song "Rum and Coca Cola" in "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" thread and from there finding a reference to a thread on the calypso song "Tingalayo".

So what does this have to do with "Jawbone"?

These two songs share a "walk & talk" verse as shown below:

TINGALAYO
my donkey walk
my donkey talks
my donkey eats
with a knife and fork

JAWBONE
Samson, shout! Samson, moan!
Samson, bring on yo' jawbone.

Jawbone,walk! Jawbone, talk!
Jawbone, eat wid a knife an' fo'k.

Walk, Jawbone! Jinny, come alon'!
Yon'er [Yonder] goes Sally wod de bootees on.

Jawbone, sing! Jawbone, sing!
Jawbone, kill dat wicked thing.
   in Thomas W. Talley: "Negro Folk Rhymes"{Kennikat Press, p. 12}

Also, I found a similar verse in a passage about plantation dances and instruments in Paul oliver's "The Story of The Blues" {Radnor,PA, Clinton Book Co; third printing, 1973;p.49}

In Texas, where the dances were subject to many ethnic influences, Mance Lipscomb played the Buck and Wing, a plantation dance with bird-like steps and flapping arms, the Buzzard Lope, with hunched shoulders and loose-limbed slides, the Hop-Scop which was danced in "stop-time", with suspended rhythm, and the Heel and Toe Polka which hinted at European origin. Most blues guitarist of an older generation, or songsters, and musicians played for such balls for both white and coloured people, who danced similar dances. Henry Thomas, "Ragtime Texas", called out the sets of his Old Country Stomp while strumming his guitar and playing his pan-pipe "quills".

Get your partners, promenade
Promenade 'round the hall
Fall in this side of the hall
take yo'(your)partners-Promenade

Miss Jenny eat, Miss Jenny talk,
Miss Jenny eat with knife and fork

The playing of "quills" is an indication of Thomas' generation.
A Pan's pipe [is]of but three reeds, made from single joints of common brake and called by the English speaking Negroes "the quills".

end of quote.

From the title of this thread I surmise that the song "Lula Gal" also has these "walk/talk" lines. Are there other such songs?

I wonder how the same verse is found among Black people in the United States South and in the Caribbean? Maybe it's as "simple" an explanation as enslaved people from the Caribbean being re-sold to the South and bringing their culture with them. And I've read that some White Southern slave owners had property in the Caribbean and would travel with their slaves back & forth. So this verse could have come from the US South to the Caribbean and not vice versa.

I welcome any comments regarding this.

Thanks.
