Our Singing Country
4  Up the hickory,* Down the pine, Tore my shirt-tail Way up behind.
5   I looked down the road. Saw Sal a-comin?, Thought to my soul
I'd kill myself a-runnin\
6   Monkey in the barnyard, Monkey in the stable. Monkey git your hair cut Soon as you are able.
7   Had a little pony, His name was Jack; Put him in a stable,
And he jumped through a crack.
8 Chew my terbacker And spit my juice, Want to go to heaven, But it ain't no use.
* Stanzas 4-8 from Ray Wood (Raywood, Texas), Mother Goose of the Ozarks.
* Choruses i and 2 are sung before each stanza. Stanzas are sung to the tune of either chorus.
