I’m gwine to jine de contraband, chillun,
Gwine to git a home by an’ by.
A shoo-fly cut a pigeon wing,
Gwine to git a home by an’ by;
A rattlesnake rolled in a ’possum’s skin,
Gwine to git a home by an’ by.
Cow path crooked gwine through the wood,
Gwine to git a home by an’ by,
Missus says I shan’t, I says I should,
Gwine to git a home by an’ by.
