Negro workaday songs

by Howard Washington Odum; Guy Benton Johnson

You take de stockin’, I take de sock, honey,

You take de stockin’, I take de sock, baby,

You take de stockin’, I take de sock,

Take you all night to wind dat clock, honey.

You take de garter an’ I take de string, honey,

You take de garter an’ I take de string, baby,

You take de garter an’ I take de string,

You gits de money, I don’t git a thing, honey.

You take de slipper, I take de shoe, honey,

You take de slipper, I take de shoe, baby,
