It's up the rope and down the cable forty horses in the stable First and injun then squaw Gwine away for the Arkansaw Oh Lud gals give me chaw tebaccar Oh lud gals, pass along the whiskey, Make my head swim when I get a little tipsy Vinegar shoes and paper stockings Set to me Miss Polly Hopkins My wifes dead and Im a widder All the way from roaring river Oh Lud gals give me chaw tebaccar Oh lud gals, pass along the whiskey, Make my head swim when I get a little tipsy If I had a wife and a little baby I'd support her like a lady Gods of war and little fishes Yearthern plates and pewter dishes Oh Lud gals give me chaw tebaccar Oh lud gals, pass along the whiskey, Make my head swim when I get a little tipsy Cowhide shoes and buckskin breeches Give me the gal that sewed the stiches The prettiest thing in all creation Is a little yaller gal in the wild goose nation Oh Lud gals give me chaw tebaccar Oh lud gals, pass along the whiskey, Make my head swim when I get a little tipsy All the way from the injun nation Big corn crib on little plantation My wifes dead and I'll get another Pretty little black gal just like the other Oh Lud gals give me chaw tebaccar Oh lud gals, pass along the whiskey, Make my head swim when I get a little tipsy So blow away the gentle breezes All among the cimmon trees Dar I set long with the muses Mendin my old boots and shoes Oh Lud gals give me chaw tebaccar Oh lud gals, pass along the whiskey, Make my head swim when I get a little tipsy
