In South Carolina de darkeys grow.
Sing song, kitty kitchie-kimeo.
Dat’s whar de white folks plant dey toe.        Sing song, etc.
Dey cover de groun’ all ober wid smoke.      Sing song, etc.
An’ up de darkey heads dey poke.                   Sing song, etc.

{Chorus:}

Keemo kimo, dar o whar;
Wid a hi an’ a ho an’ a here come Sally singin’
Some tie penny wid a ling tong nipcat;
Sing song, kitty, kitchie-kimeo.

Sometimes t’ings jus’ go all wrong;                  Sing song, etc.*

Whutcha gonna do f’it don’ rain at all?           *–
T’ings grow short instead of tall.                       *–

{Chorus}

Milk in de dairy, nine days old;                                        Sing song, etc.*
De frogs an’ de ‘squitoes gittin’ mighty bold,             *–
We try for to sleep, but it ain’t no use.                          *–
Dey jump all aroun’ in de chicken roost.                     *–

{Chorus}

Dar was a frog lived near a pool;                      Sing song, etc.*
Sho’, he was de bigges’ fool!                               *–
For he could dance an’ he could sing.            *–
Make de woods all ‘round him ring!                *–

{Chorus}

(Recorded by the 2nd South Carolina String Band for the In High Cotton album, the band also appeared with this song in Gods and Generals)

We are a band of brothers and native to the soil
Fighting for our Liberty, With treasure, blood and toil
And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

Hurrah!
Hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

As long as the Union was faithful to her trust
Like friends and brethren, kind were we, and just
But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

Hurrah!
Hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand
Then came Alabama and took her by the hand
Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida
All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

Hurrah!
Hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

Ye men of valor gather round the banner of the right
Texas and fair Louisiana join us in the fight
Davis, our loved President, and Stephens statesmen are
Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

Hurrah!
Hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

And here’s to brave Virginia, the Old Dominion State.
With the young Confederacy at length has linked her fate.
Impelled by her example, now other States prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star.

Hurrah!
Hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

Then here’s to our Confederacy, strong we are and brave,
Like patriots of old we’ll fight, our heritage to save.
And rather than submit to shame, to die we would prefer
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star.

Hurrah!
Hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

Then cheer, boys, cheer, raise a joyous shout
For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out;
And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given
The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be eleven!

(Recorded on the Southern Soldier album)

I came down to town de udder night,
I hear de noise, den saw de fight,
De watchman was a runnin’ ‘roun’
Cryin’ ”Old Dan Tucker’s come to town”!

{Chorus}
So git out de way, Old Dan Tucker,
Git out de way Old Dan Tucker
Git out de way Old Dan Tucker
You’re too late to git your supper.

Old Dan Tucker was a mighty man,
He washed his face in a fryin’ pan,
Combed his head wid a wagon wheel,
An’ died wid a tooth-ache in his heel.

{Chorus}

Old Dan Tucker’s back in town,
Swingin’ the ladies all aroun’,
First to the right and the to the lef’,
An’ then to the gal that he loves best.

{Chorus}

Dan Tucker is a nice old man,
He used to ride our darby ram;
He sent him whizzin’ down de hill,
If he hadn’t got up, he’d lay dar still.

{Chorus}

Old Dan Tucker an’ I got drunk,
He fell in de fire an’ kick up a chunk,
De charcoal got inside he shoe,
Lor bless you, honey how de ashes flew!

{Chorus}

I went to town to buy some goods,
I lost myself in a piece of woods;
De night was dark. I had to suffer
I froze to de heel of Daniel Tucker.

{Chorus}

Tucker was a hardened sinner,
He nebber said his grace at dinner;
De old sow squeal, de pigs did squall,
He ate de whole hog – tail and all.

{Chorus}

And now Ole Dan is a gone sucker;
And nebber can go home to supper;
Old Dan, he has had his last ride,
And de banjo’s buried by his side.

{Chorus}
