Social Songs
i Got up one morning, went out to plow. Tee roo, tee roo, went out to plow. With sixteen oxens and a darned old cow, Tee roo, tee roo, and a darned old cow.
2  Up stepped the old devil sayin', "How do you do? There's one in your-family that I must have."
3  aOh, please don't take my oldest son, There's work on the place that's got to be done."
4  "It's all I want's that wife of yours." "Well, you can have her with all of my heart, And promise me you'll never depart."
5  He picked her up upon his back,
He looked like an eagle skeered off of the rack.
6  He carried her on about half of the road,
He says, "Old woman, you're a devil of a load."
[153]
