Here's another version of the song "Johnny Booker" than I found on the Digitrad. The source for this version is Dorothy Scarborough
"On The Trail Of Negro Folk Songs" {Folklore Associates, Inc. edition; 1963; p.100 ; originally published by Harvard, University Press, 1925}

JOHNNY BOOKER
I went down to de back of de fiel'
A black snake cotch me by de heel.
I cut my dus', I run my bes,'
I run right into a horney's nes'.

Chorus:
Oh, do, Mr. Booker, do! Oh, do, Mr. Booker, do!
Oh, do, Mr. Booker, Johnny Booker,
Mr Booker, Mr, Booker, Johnny Booker, do!

See Scarborough's introduction to that song:

"Dr. Wyeth performed magical tricks with a banjo, as he had been taught by old Uncle Billy in slavery times. He evoked melodies of wishful gaiety by drawing a handkerchief across the banjo strings, and lively tunes by playing it with a whisk-broom. And when he danced some of the old breakdowns for me, just to show how they went, I felt transported to an old plantation of days before the war. Another of the dance-songs he gave me was Johnny Booker."
