Lyrics:

Went up on the mountain Just to give my horn a blow. Thought I heard my true love say, Yonder comes my beau.

CHORUS:

Boil them cabbage down, down. Turn them hoecakes down, down. The only song that I can sing Is boil them cabbage down.

Possum in a 'simmon tree, Raccoon on the ground. Raccoon says, you son-of-a-gun, Throw some 'simmons down.

Someone stole my old coon dog,

Wish they'd bring him back.

He chased the big hogs through the fence

And the little ones through the crack.

Met a possum in the road,

Blind as he could be.

Jumped the fence and whipped my dog

And bristled up at me.

Butterfly he has wings of gold, Firefly wings of flame. Bedbug got no wings at all but he gets there just the same.

After you have spent some time with Boil Them Cabbage Down you can give Cripple Creek a shot.
