'possum Up The Gum Stump




From: DANCE RHYME SECTION

'Possum up de gum stump,
Dat raccoon in de holler;
Twis' 'im out, an' git 'im down,
An' I'll gin you a half a doller.

His jaws is black an' dirty;
To come an' kiss you, pretty gal,
I'd run lak a gobbler tucky.

A good man's hard to f[=i]n';
You'd better love me, pretty gal,
You'll git de yudder k[=i]n'.
