A somewhat different version from Gainesville, Florida; singing of Mrs. Irene Harmon. Many Scotch-Irish settled there. Many songs sung while boiling cane juice during winter evenings.

Lyr. Add: THE CARRION CROW
Florida Scotch-Irish

One day sittin' down a-cuttin' out a coat,
Down came a crow, and he lit in the oak.
Rin-shank-phil-a-dele-ki-me-o,
Ca-ra-la-ro-del-o-ca-o-ki-me-o,
Up jumped Billy with a torn down billy
With a rink-shank-phil-a-delo-ki-me-o.

We shot the old sow right slam to the heart,
"Wife, oh wife, let's drag her to the house."
Rink-shank-phil-a-dele-ki-me-o,
Ca-ra-la-ro-del-o-ca-o-ki-me-o,
"She'll make us plenty of puddin' and souse."
With a rink-shank-phil-a-delo-ki-me-o.

"The bread and meat's all on the shelf.
Now if you want any more song
You can sing it yourself."
Rink-shank-phil-a-dele-ki-me-o,
Ca-ra-la-ro-del-o-ca-ra-ki-me-o.
With a rink-shank-phil-a-dele-ki-me-o.
