Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Add: Goober Peas
Subject: RE: Civil War songs - Goober Peas
Mbo, as I understand it, there was actually a man whose last name was Goober, who grew peanuts, and they were called "Goober's Peas." Seriously. 'Course, Goober may not have been his real name...

We had some raw peanuts in the office and no one knew what they were because we city folks are so used to roasted/salted yaddayaddayadda. Somebody asked me, what are these? They taste like soybeans. I said, ah, well, those are actually raw peanuts..........

Now, Jeb Stuart, he da man! Mister often chides me about having this fascination with dead men who rode horses.
