Negro workaday songs

by Howard Washington Odum; Guy Benton Johnson

So chilly and cold, Buddie,

But I’m goin’ home, Buddie, I’m goin’ home.

Take this hammer, Buddie,

Carry it to the boss, Buddie,

Carry it to the boss, Buddie,

Tell him I gone home, Buddie, I gone home.

I got a wife, Buddie,

With two little children, Buddie,

With two little children, Buddie,

Tell ’em I’m comin’ home, Buddie, I’m comin’ home.
