Boil them cabbage down, boys, boil them cabbage down; The only song that I can sing is boil them cabbage down.

Once I had an old grey mule, his name was Morgan Brown; Every tooth in that mule's head was two feet from the ground. Boil them cabbage down, boys, boil them cabbage down; The only song that I can sing is boil them cabbage down.

Went up on the mountain, to get a load of pine; Put it on the old mule's back and almost lost my mind. Boil them cabbage down, boys, boil them cabbage down; The only song that I can sing is boil them cabbage down.

Had an old hen, she had a wooden leg;Best old hen that ever laid, she laid an Easter egg. Boil them cabbage down, boys, boil them cabbage down; The only song that I can sing is boil them cabbage down.
