CHORUS 
  A                 D 
Bile Them Cabbage Down, down,  
  A                    E7 
Turn them hoe-cakes `round. 
     A             D 
The only song that I can sing is  
  A        E7       A 
Bile Them Cabbage Down 

Verse 
  A 
  Went up to the mountain,  
                        E7 
 Just to give my horn a blow 
   A                 D 
  Thought I heard my true love say 
   A      E7       A 
  "Yonder comes my beau" 

Verse 2
A
Took my gal to a blacksmith shop 
                               E7
To have her mouth made small 
A                    D
She turned around a time or two 
A         E7           A
And swallowed shop and all 

Verse 3
A
Possum in a `simmon tree 
                  E7
Racoon on the ground 
A                          D
Racoon says"You son of a gun" 
A           E7       A    
Shake some `simmons down 

Verse 4
A
Some-one stole my old `coon dog 
                    E7
Wish they`d bring him back 
A                                  D
He chases big hogs through the fence 
A                    E7    A
And the little ones through the crack 

Verse 5
A
Met a possum in the road 
                   E7
Blind as he could be 
A                                    D
Jumped the fence and whipped my dog 
A         E7     A
And bristled up at me 

Verse 6
A
Once I had an old grey mule 
                          E7
His name was Simon Slick 
A                                   D
He`d roll his eyes and back his ears 
A              E7     A 
And how that mule would kick 

Verse 7
A
How that mule would kick 
                              E7
He kicked with his dyin` breath 
A                            D
He shoved his hind feet down his throat 
A        E7          A
And kicked himself to death
