04 May 99 - 09:39 AM (#75527) Subject: Sidemeat and Cabbage From: crchenry@sprynet.com I am looking for a song i had as a child in the early 50's . It was called Sidemeat and Cabbage. Can anyone help me? I have no idea who sang it or the label. It was on an old 78 RPM. I think This old house was the flip side. |

04 May 99 - 12:30 PM (#75558) Subject: RE: Sidemeat and Cabbage From: Ciaran Hi there! I believe the song was written by Hy Heath (of Mule Train fame)and the only reference I can find is on an album by Little Jimmy Dickens. You can find it at the following site: http://www.bluesworld.com/roots/rr_cvinylai.htm Good luck! |

The label is Columbia and the flip side is Teardrops (Fell Like Raindrops). If you download from Limewire you can find it by searching the Artist (Little Jimmy Dickens). It is difficult to find but I found it just yesterday. Good Luck. |

When I was aobut 6, the kid across the street had a 45 RPM recording with Nervous Norvus singing "Transfustion" on one side and Dig" on the other. Here's what allmusic.com says about Nervous Norvus:

SIDEMEAT AND CABBAGE Little Jimmie Dickens & Hy Heath Now all through the day I just lay in the hay And I wait for that old dinner bell. When I hear it chime, to the table I climb, Then stuff in a napkin and yell: "Bring me some sidemeat and cabbage And don't make the order too small. I don't eat tomaters or Irish potaters, Just sidemeat and cabbage, that's all. " I played my guitar at a fancy bazaar And I sang till my tonsils were red. When time came to eat, I just grabbed me a seat An' looked right at the butler and said: "Gimmie some sidemeat and cabbage And don't make the order too small. An' if you ain't got none, then go out and get some, Just sidemeat and cabbage, that's all." I took Jessie Mae to a roadside café And the waiter showed up to our plate. He said, "Will you dine on some lobster and wine?" And I stood up and yelled in his face: "Gimmie some sidemeat and cabbage And don't make the order too small. There'll be no shellfishes or other swell dishes, Just sidemeat and cabbage, that's all." Now when we were wed, to my Jessie I said: "You know you're the one I adore. My love is sincere and I swear to you, dear, There's only one thing I love more: "Gimmie some sidemeat and cabbage And don't make the order too small. You're heaven's most bless'dest, but what I like bestest Is sidemeat and cabbage, that's all." I don't care for oodles and pot roast and noodles And I don't go for chicken potpie. I always say phooey on Chinese chop suey And I never eat tuna on rye. I can't get the habit of eatin' fried rabbit. I don't like the flavor of lamb. I never eat muffins or turkey with stuffin's; Don't like cackleberries and ham. I wouldn't say howdy to apple pan dowdy. I won't eat the legs of a frog; And though they're a big treat, I don't go for pig's feet. I eat higher up on the hog. I never make passes at flap jacks and 'lasses. I don't care for cookies and tea. I never ask waiters for possums and 'taters. They know what I care for; they know what I come for: Just sidemeat and cabbage, that's all. |

02 Dec 10 - 09:02 AM (#3044864) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Side Meat and Cabbage (Jimmy Dickens? From: Jim Dixon I've never seen anything at the supermarket labeled "side meat," so I went looking— I found this definition in, of all places, The Urban Dictionary:
Slabs of meat taken specifically from the sides of a pig, practically a staple in the deep south. May be smoked and cured, in which case it becomes known as bacon, or salted, in which case it is known as salt pork. Sometimes referred to as "side pork," as well, it is an indispensable ingredient for the southern dish of boiled greens. "Side meat" was mentioned numerous times in John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath," a story of an Oklahoma family who left home during the Dustbowl years to work in the fruit picking industry in California. Fry up that side meat, ma - I'm starvin'! Maybe if I lived in the "deep south" I would see side meat in supermarkets. (I'm in Minnesota.) Of course we have bacon, and I have seen "salt pork," and I think I may have used it in a recipe once. So, am I to infer that if something is called "side meat," it is not cured or salted? Otherwise it would be called bacon or salt pork? |

This song brings back such fond memories of listening to it when I was a little girl. We had one of the old phonograph record players that you wind up and the speaker is a type of megaphone. Can't remember what they're called. I practically memorized some of the words but now that they're written down, I see I had some of them mixed up! Thanks for the memories! |

Otherwise it would be called bacon or salt pork?' Don't think so, Jim. Bacon is 'nitrated' usually, and salt pork is salted. However, they both come from the side of the hog (usually), but side meat can be untouched by salt or nitrates. I'd expect the recipe would call for bacon-ish meat and so would be treated, otherwise the taste would be rather bland. However, I ain't a Southerner, so I expect maybe to be corrected. |
