Hoecake Fritters

“Hoecake Fritters”

Co’n Likker, Co’n Likker,
Down in th’ Holler
Bust you a jug
Fer a Bucker and a Quarter,

Greenbacka, Greenbacka
Greybacka dollar
Gally won't you come
An’ I ain'ta gonna caller.

(CHORUS)
Hoe Cake a Hoe Cake
Hoe Cake Fritters
Sweet Milk, ‘lasses
Onions, Butter.

Johnny throwed an oak ball
Hittin’ at Davie
Broke outta winder glass
Hit in mamma's gravy.

Davie, Davie
Poor little Davis
Got choked down
On Chicken an’ Gravy.

(CHORUS)
Hoe Cake a Hoe Cake
Hoe Cake Fritters
I ain't gonna work
Just for hoe cake fritters.

Out in th’ West
Where th’ hills gets bigger
I use to dance
An’ I cut quite a figure.

Ought's an ought
Figure is a figure
Banker got my place
An’ I got the Chiggers.

(CHORUS)
Hoe Cake a Hoe Cake
Hoe Cake Fritters
I ain't gonna work
Just for hoe cake fritters

I aint no coward
Well, I ain't no quitter
But I can't live
On Hoe Cake Fritters.

I got wives and kids
An’ I got quite a litter
Starvin’ slow to death
Eatin’ Hoe Cake Fritters.

(CHORUS)
Hoe Cake a Hoe Cake
Hoe Cake a Fritters
Dyin’ like flies
Eatin Hoe Cake a Fritters
