JOE AND MALINDA JANE Tally #5

OLE Joe jes swore upon 'is life
He'd make Merlindy Jane 'is wife.
Wen she hear 'im up 'is love an' tell,
She jumped in a bar'l o' mussel shell.
She scrape 'er back till de skin come off.
Nex' day she die wid de Whoopin' Cough.

WALK, TALK, CHICKEN WITH YOUR HEAD PECKED! Talley #6

WALK, talk, chicken wid yo' head pecked !
You can crow w'en youse been dead.
Walk, talk, chicken wid yo' head pecked !
You can hoi' high yo' bloody head.

You's whooped dat Blue Hen's Chicken,
You's beat 'im at his game.
If dere's some fedders on him,
Fer dat you's not to blame.

Walk, talk, chicken wid yo' head pecked!
You beat ole Johnny Blue!
Walk, talk, chicken wid yo' head pecked!
Say: "Cbck-a-doo-dle-doo !"

Im not familiar with these two. "Nex' day she die wid de Whoopin' Cough." is a familiar minstrel line.

WALK, TALK, CHICKEN WITH YOUR HEAD PECKED! might be a misheard lyric. It could be Walk Chalk Chicken With Your Head Pecked. Walk Chalk Chicken is found in few fiddle tunes, if I remember right Melvin Wine did a tune. Walk Chalk Line is a type of obscure dance step.

There's also the familiar "jawbone walk, jawbone talk" lyrics but this doesn't seem to fit this song.
