" Cats and Eelb, and sick as that." 



"One Sat'day night 

 Be niggas went a hunting 

 Be dogs dey run de Coon, 

 Be Coon he run de Wolver, 

 De Wolver run de Stiff-leg, 

 Be Stiff-leg run de Bevil, 

 Bey run him up de hill, 

 But dey cotch him on de level. 



" Sat'day night come arter, 

 Be niggas went a-fishin', 

 Bey call for Billy Carter, 

 'Case he want to go a-caUin\ 

 Bey filled de jug an' started 

 For de Pocomoka river, 

 Chicken-guta wus better bait. 

 Bey dug a gourd o' wurrims." 



From a song of the " Peasat,try of the ^uih" — banjo 

 accompaniment omitted.
