Willie Poor Boy

Willie, Willie, Willie Po' Boy
Do let my savior be
I went down to the old cornfield
Get me a load of corn
Oh, the raccoon sicked it, doggone me
And the possum blowed his horn
Willie, Willie Po' Boy
Do Lord remember me
Was a raccoon up that'simmon tree
And a possum down on that ground
Well, the possum said to the raccoon
'I want you to shake me some'simmon down'
Oh me, oh my
Do Lord remember me
I went down to my true lover's house
Hadn't never been down there before
She fed me out of old hog straw
I ain't going back no more
Oh me, Willie Po' Boy
Do let my savior be
I would not marry a lotty-headed girl
I'll tell you the reason why
'Cause every time she go to comb her head
Then the naps begin to fly
Oh me, oh my, oh my
Do Lord remember me
Old mule, that old mule
Can't get the saddle on that old mule
Oh mule
Well, I would not marry a snotty-nosed girl
Tell you the reason why
'Cause every time I go to kiss that girl
The snot begin to fly
Oh my
