Product Description

Also known as "Possum up a Gum Stump," this was based on an African-American dance song during the time that leaders like Andrew Jackson kept slaves who had to hunt for raccoons and opposums to stay alive. This song has since become a hit with minstrel and Blue grass groups. 'Possum up the gum stump Dat (That) raccoon's in de (the) holler Twis' (Twist) 'im (him) out and get 'im down An' I'll gin (give) you half a dollar. 'Possum up the gum stump Yes, cooney's in de holler' A pretty girl down my house Jes (Just) as fat as she can waller. Possum up de gum stump. His jaw is black an' dirty. To come an' kiss you, pretty gal I'd run lak (like) a goobler tucky (turkey) Possum up the gum stump A good man's hard to fin' (find): You'd better love me, pretty gal You'll git (get) de yudder (other) kin' (kind).
