DESCRIPTION:
Instrumental for this great old song is by the gal from the Hills of North Carolina ..Will include the lyrics.
Boil (Bile) Them Cabbage down

Went up on the mountain
Just to give my horn a blow
Thought I heard my true love say
Yonder comes my beau
[Chorus:]
Boil them Cabbage down
Turn them hoecakes round
The only song that I can sing
Is boil them cabbage down

Took my gal to the blacksmith shop
To have her mouth made small
She turned around a time or two
And swallowed shop and all
[Chorus]

Possum in a Simmon tree
Raccoon on the ground
Raccoon says you son-of-a-gun
Shake some Simmon's down
[Chorus]

Someone stole my old 'coon dog
Wish they'd bring him back
He chased the big hogs through the fence
And the little ones through
the crack
[Chorus]

Met a possum in the road
Blind as he could be
Jumped the fence and whipped my dog
And bristled up at me
[Chorus]

Once I had an old gray mule
His name was Simon Slick
He'd roll his eyes and back his ears
And how that mule would kick
[Chorus]
