The mp3 is difficult to hear. I found these lyrics on a site:

2718
Sissy in de barn-game song-Julia Griffin and group

   Sissy in de barn, join de wedding
   Prettiest little couple I ever did see,
   Oh, bye-an'-bye put yo' arms around me
   Says, little sissy, won't you marry me.

   Oh, step back, gal, don't you come near me,
   All those sassy words you say
   Bye-an'-baye, throw yo' arms around me
   Pretty little sissy, won't you marry me.

That is from

If that doesn't work, Google

1939 Southern Recording Trip Fieldnotes

Section 19 ...
