Periwinkle[47]
From:
ONE NEGRO THEME SUNG WITH "FROG WENT A-COURTING"
Pennywinkle, pennywinkle, poke out y[=o]' ho'n;
An' I'll give you five dollahs an' a bar'l o' co'n.
Pennywinkle! Pennywinkle! Dat gal love me?
Jes stick out y[=o]' ho'n all pinted to a tree.
[47] The Periwinkle seems to have been used as an oracle by some Negroes
in the days of their enslavement.
