1.
1 My old misses promised me,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye,
When she died she's set me free,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye,
She did live till she got bald,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye,
And she never died at all,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye.

[Chorus]
Den Oh, dat watermelon,
Lamb of goodness, you must die.
I'm gwine to join de contraband children,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye.

2.
Shoofly cut a pigun wing,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye,
Rattle snake rolled in a possum's skin,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye,
Cow path crooked gwine frouh de wood,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye,
Misses ses I shant, I ses I should,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye.

3.
Sister Sue, and old aunt Sal,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye,
Both lived down in Shinbone al,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye,
Name of de house, name on de door,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye,
Big green spot on de Grocery store,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye.
