Tbere were threads about this a while ago but maybe some new 'catters can help. I can understand most of the verses except the one starting 'You can take me to the mountains...' There's then something which I've seen transcribed as 'Take a pole and try it' or 'Cold from China'. Both unlikely: I think it's some breed of pig but I've forgotten the reference. Has anyone but Lead Belly recorded it? And most importantly...what's it all about? Bound to be sexual!
