I almost put this in the thread called Lyr Req: Onion Songs, but since it mentions and praises several other foods, I figured it would be a better fit here.

You can hear this at the Internet Archive:


GREEN ONION TOP
Written & recorded by Roosevelt Sykes, 1951.

Pig tails and sauerkraut
Make your belly stick way out.
Dig the pig with solid bop.
Don’t be green like a onion top.

Slipp’ry okra and collard greens,
Best stuff that you ever seen.
Slide the okra with a solid bop.
Don’t be green like a onion top.

Pickled pepper, sliced tomatoes,
Oh, boys, what a plate!
Lemonade, slice of pie,
Hurry, hurry, don’t be late.

Boiled corn and lima beans,
Best dish that you ever seen.
Dig the corn with solid bop,
And don’t be green like a onion top.
