A quick google gives:

First you pull it out then you rinse it again
Because you don't know where that oxtail's been

Others may find more.

A friend has asked for a recipe for Hoppin John that was written in verse.
It begins, "Take an oxtail, wash it clean. 'Cause you don't know where the oxtai's been."

Does anyboyd know the rest?
