Our Singing Country
2  Well, you kicked and stomped and beat me; (3) Kind cap'n, and you call that fun, sir.
3   If I catch you in my home town, (3) Goin' to make you run, sir.
DRIVE IT ON
aP. No. 245. Group of convicts, Cummins State Farm, Ark., 1934.
A gay, rollicking gang work song with a spirited tempo, interspersed with shouts of physical enjoyment, used for ax work.
Pm gonna preach to my diamond* hammer ring,
Listen what Pm gonna freach, suh, hammer ring.
If you walk, Pit drive you, hammer ring.
If you drive, Pit ride you, hammer ring,
If you lead, PU follow you, hammer ring,
Pm heavy looaded, hammer ring,
Loaded with my diamond, hammer ring.
