Tennessee Ernie Ford - I Can Whip the Scoundrel Lyrics

Lyrics I Can Whip the Scoundrel - Tennessee Ernie Ford



The yankees came to Baldwin, they came upon the rear
They thought they′d find old Abner but old Abner was not there
So lay ten dollars down, or twenty if you choose
For I can whip the yankee, that stole old Abner's shoes
Jeff Davis was a gentleman
Jeff Davis was no fool
Jeff Davis rode a dapple gray
And Abe Lincoln rode a mule
So lay ten dollars down, or twenty if you choose
For I can take the hide off the yankee that stole old Abner′s shoes
The yankees took me prisoner, they used me rough it's true
They took from me my napsack and they stole bys blanket too
So lay ten dollars down or twenty if you choose
For I can whip the scoundrel that stole old Abner's shoes
The yankees took me prisoner and if I get parole
I′ll go right back and fight them, I will upon my soul
Then lay ten dollars down or twenty if you choose
For I can whip the yankee that stole old Abner′s shoes
For I can whip the yankee that stole old Abner's shoes
