One chicken, and that not too small;
With gumbos and good red tomatoes,
And beans and some oysters and all.
On a rock by the river she cooked it,
When there came up a devil of a squall;
And into the water it hooked it,
With the corn and potatoes and all.
The ham and the beans and potatoes
All went in that devil of a squall,
With the chicken and big red tomatoes,
